Primary middle ear inverted papilloma is an exceedingly rare finding posing a diagnostic challenge, as symptomatology often mimics common clinical entities like serous otitis media. Clinical and radiological findings are not specific, whilst high recurrence rates, local destruction, and potential malignant transformation constitute an overall demanding surgical challenge, requiring aggressive procedures. We report the case of a primary inverted papilloma of the middle ear, discussing diagnostic and therapeutic issues.
原发性中耳内翻性乳头状瘤极为罕见，诊断极具挑战性，因为其症状常类似于浆液性中耳炎等常见临床病症。临床和影像学表现无特异性，而高复发率、局部破坏和潜在恶性转化构成了整体上极具挑战性的手术问题，需要采用激进的手术方法。我们报告了一例中耳原发性内翻性乳头状瘤病例，讨论了其诊断和治疗问题。
