title: [Middle ear adenoma: our casuistry and revision of the literature].
abstract: Tumours of the middle ear are rare. Among them glomus tympanicum is the most frequent, followed by adenoma of the middle ear (AME). This insidious pathology entity displays unspecific clinical and audiological features. Advances in histology and immunohistochemistry have greatly contributed to an accurate diagnosis. We report our experience with two patients, a middle-aged man and a woman, diagnosed in our hospital. Both patients underwent surgical treatment and have shown no signs of recurrence after a 27- and 28-month follow-up. In both cases an accurate diagnosis was confirmed by histological and immunohistochemical analysis.
