Abstract
Osteomas in the middle ear are extremely rare and are generally solitary and small. We present a case of a 28-year-old female patient with multiple middle ear osteomas which arose from the promontory, epitympanum, and lateral semicircular canal. The osteomas were successfully removed by tympanomastoidectomy. This is the first reported case of a patient with middle ear osteomas arising from multiple sites.
