Am J Otolaryngol. 2003 Nov-Dec;24(6):405-7. doi: 10.1016/s0196-0709(03)00086-3.

Abstract

Hemangiomas are common benign vascular tumors, but they have rarely been reported in the middle ear. They can mimic glomus tumor in appearance when encountered as middle ear masses. A case of a right-sided middle ear hemangioma in a 51-year-old woman who suffered from pulsatile tinnitus is presented with a review of the relevant literature.
