中耳类癌是一种极其罕见的中耳病变，因此其诊断经常被延误。一些作者发现很难区分中耳类癌和中耳腺瘤。然而，目前的意见倾向于将其视为一个独立的临床实体。通过使用免疫组织化学和电子显微镜鉴定神经分泌肿瘤细胞来做出明确诊断。它通常遵循非侵袭性的临床过程，很少发生转移，并且在根治性切除后很少复发。我们介绍了一名中耳类癌患者，通过耳道壁切除术切除肿瘤块 2 年后，该患者已康复。相关文献也在此回顾。 (C) 2008 Elsevier Inc. 保留所有权利。
Carcinoid tumor of the middle ear is an extremely rare lesion of the middle ear, and thus its diagnosis is frequently delayed. Some authors found it hard to differentiate middle ear carcinoid front the middle car adenoma. However, the balance of opinion is currently oil the side of considering it as a separate clinical entity. Definitive diagnosis is made by identifying neurosecretory tumor cells using immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy. It usually follows a nonaggressive clinical course, rarely metastases, and infrequently recurs after radical excisions. We present a patient with middle ear carcinoid, who is free of disease 2 years after the resection of the tumor mass with canal walldown procedure. The relevant literature is also herewith reviewed.
