Abstract 

A middle ear hemangioma was detected in a 51-year-old man who suffered from fullness and hearing loss in the left ear. This case is presented with a review of the relevant literature. The mass was surgically resected for diagnostic and therapeutic reasons, and pathologic examination revealed a benign hemangioma. The CT, MRI, angiography, and light microscopy findings of the tumor are documented and compared with those a glomus tumor. The significance of this diagnosis is also discussed.
