Middle Ear Neuroendocrine Tumors: A Case Series Highlighting Diagnostic and Management Challenges
MeNETs are uncommon, low-grade tumors that can be mistaken for other middle ear lesions. Management requires surgical excision, and revision surgery is frequently necessary. While overall prognosis is favorable, the potential for delayed recurrence underscores the importance of long-term follow-up and consideration of a planned second-look procedure. This case series contributes to the limited literature guiding diagnosis and treatment of these rare tumors.
