Abstract
Osteomas are benign lesions of the lamellar bone that within the temporal region are common in the external ear canal. Osteomas of the middle ear are extremely rare and until now there are only 14 reported cases. They usually present with conductive hearing loss while others are asymptomatic and diagnosed incidentally.
