A review of acquired and lacking knowledge on mucous glands in the human middle ear is presented. Investigations on whole-mount and section preparations from fetuses, prematures and infants, normal and slightly abnormal children and adults are reviewed in detail. It is concluded that mucous glands are not a normal, but a pathological component of the middle ear mucosa. Gland formation and degeneration are described. Theories on pathogenesis are discussed and new ideas for further research are indicated. Copyright (C) 2002 S. Karger AG, Basel.
