title: Cerebellopontine angle lymphoma presenting as chronic mastoiditis.
abstract: Middle-ear tumours are not uncommonly mistaken for mastoiditis on presentation. We report a case of cerebellopontine angle non-Hodgkin's B-cell lymphoma originally presenting as a middle-ear inflammatory process. In mastoiditis not resolving with conventional treatment it is important to look for an underlying cause.
