Description
Summary:Middle ear adenomas are rare, low grade glandular neoplasms with epithelial and neuroendocrine components and with varying patterns of differentiation. Due to the rarity of this tumor, there is a dearth of publications detailing the cytological features. We herein review our institution's pathological database for cytological material between 1992 and 2022 for MEA specimens and discuss possible differential diagnoses based on clinical, pathological, and cytologic data and material.
