Abstract
Tympanic paragangliomas are rare, slow-growing neuroendocrine tumors arising from the paraganglionic cells of the middle ear. Although benign, they may cause significant morbidity due to local invasion. We present a case of a 54-year-old female with a tympanic paraganglioma, detailing the clinical presentation, imaging findings, histopathological features, and surgical management. A review of the literature highlights diagnostic challenges and treatment approaches, emphasizing the role of imaging and histopathology in optimizing patient outcomes.
