Abstract
The diagnosis of primary cancer in the mastoid bone is frequently made after a mastoidectomy to control chronic mastoiditis. The main warning indications of cancer of the middle ear or external auditory canal include persistent infection, purulent otorrhea, and severe otalgia. Malignancy might be suspected if the quantity of bone mastoid destruction is out of proportion. In this case report, we present the case of an 81-year-old female patient who presented to our department with right chronic otalgia and purulent otorrhea, which been considered initially a malignant external otitis. With the non-amelioration of the symptomatology, additional tests, surgery, and histology revealed a mastoid adenocarcinoma.
Keywords: Mastoid bone, carcinoma, chronic mastoiditis, otalgia, mastoidectomy
