Abstract
Carcinoid tumour is one of the rarest middle-ear neoplasms. We describe here a case of carcinoid tumour of the middle-ear cleft that presented with aural as well as systemic symptoms. Diagnostic difficulty was encountered using light microscopy, but electron microscopy revealed the neurosecretory granules.Keywords
