Diseases of the ear, throat and nose (otolaryngology)

Tumors of the middle ear - a rare phenomenon, but when they occur, there are significant problems related to both diagnosis and treatment. Tumors of the middle ear are divided into benign and malignant.

Benign tumors of the outer ear - seborrheic and dermoid cysts (on the anti-pedicle and lobe), fibromas (true, fascicular, keploid), nevi (pigment or vascular), kondilloma (in the anterior ear incision between the percutaneous tubercle and leg of the curl), chondrophybras, often the wrestlers and boxers arising as a result of the fibrous organization of hematoma, chondroma, papilloma, neurinoma, hemangioma, osteoma (in the osseous part of the external auditory canal).

The laryngeal chondroma is a very rare disease, almost always localized on the plate of cricoid cartilage, from which, growing, penetrates into various areas of the larynx. Romanian otorhinolaryngologists found that in 1952 only 87 cases of this disease were described in the world literature. Less commonly, laryngeal chondroma develops on the epiglottis and thyroid cartilage.

Angiomas of the larynx are divided into hemangiomas and lymphangiomas. True laryngeal hemangiomas are very rare and, according to different authors, account for about 1% of all benign tumors of the larynx.
