title: [Nonchromaffinic paraganglioma (chemodectoma) of tympanic cavity].
abstract: Nonchromaffinic paraganglioma derives from neuroectoderma. It is characterised by plenty vascularisation. Histopathologically it is a benign tumor, and doesn't give any metastasis. Although because of localisation, vascularisation and possibility of bone destruction is clinically malignant. In this paper we present three cases of paraganglioma localised in tympanic cavity treated surgically.
