Salivary gland choristoma of the middle ear cavity is an extremely rare entity. Many patients with this entity usually present with conductive hearing loss. Many reports concentrate on the importance of conservative treatment of choristoma for fear of the possible injury of the facial nerve. We report another case of salivary choristoma of the middle ear in an 11-month-old girl. We performed a reconstruction surgery of the hearing mechanism, as well as tumor removal, and achieved satisfactory hearing results. If no remarkable facial nerve anomaly is detected in the preoperative evaluation, the reconstruction of the hearing mechanism with complete tumor removal might be considered.
中耳腔涎腺迷离瘤是一种极其罕见的病症。许多患有这种病症的患者通常表现为传导性听力损失。许多报告都强调了由于担心可能损伤面神经而对迷离瘤进行保守治疗的重要性。我们报告了另一例11个月大女童的中耳涎腺迷离瘤病例。我们进行了听力机制重建手术以及肿瘤切除手术，并取得了令人满意的听力结果。如果在术前评估中未发现明显的面神经异常，可以考虑在完全切除肿瘤的同时进行听力机制重建。
