Abstract: Objective To analyze the clinical and pathological feature, therapy and outcome of ceruminous gland tumor of the middle ear. Methods We reviewed the clinical findings of three cases with ceruminous gland tumor from November 2006 to October 2014. Results Follow up to December 2014, one patient was diagnosed ceruminal adenoma who have been followed up for more than 6 years, there were no recurrence. One case with ceruminous carcinoma who received surgery and radiotherapy was relapsed during after followed up one year, and he accepted surgery and radiotherapy, after about 2 years the patient with suspected relapse.One case was diagnosed adenoid cystic carcinoma, and she received treatment with P53. However, she was relapsed after 1 year, and she received surgery and postoperative radiotherapy. Follow up for more than 9 months, considered that the tumor recurrence and metastasis to the brain. Conclusion The early diagnosis of ceruminous gland tumor is difficult, and easy to relapse, the diagnosis relies on clinical characteristic, imaging studies and histopathologic appearance.The treatment method and prognosis depends on tumor types, ceruminous adenoma is mainly treated with surgery, ceruminal adenocarcinoma and adenoid cystic carcinoma should adopt comprehensive treatment based on surgery.
