Middle-Ear Salivary Gland Choristoma with Congenital, Single-Sided Hearing Loss

Middle-ear salivary gland choristoma (SGCh) is a rare, benign tumor that causes conductive hearing loss owing to middle-ear morphological abnormalities. Early diagnosis is challenging, and surgical resection is indispensable for a definitive diagnosis. We report the case of a 3-year-old boy diagnose...

More Information
Summary:Middle-ear salivary gland choristoma (SGCh) is a rare, benign tumor that causes conductive hearing loss owing to middle-ear morphological abnormalities. Early diagnosis is challenging, and surgical resection is indispensable for a definitive diagnosis. We report the case of a 3-year-old boy diagnosed with middle-ear SGCh during the follow-up period for left-sided hearing loss discovered at newborn hearing screening (NHS). Long-term follow-up after the NHS result, subsequent computed tomography/magnetic resonance imaging, and surgical resection led to its relatively early diagnosis and treatment.
