Abstract

We report three adenomatous middle-ear tumours, an adenoma, an adenocarcinoma and a semimalignant adenomatous tumour, with special attention to CT and MRI findings. In all cases we found small intratympanic masses in which the ossicles were embedded. All showed contrast enhancement and similar signal intensity as brain tissue on T1- and T2-weighted images. The biological nature of the tumours was not reflected by the imaging or operative findings.
