- Abstract
The article presents the case of a 77-year-old woman diagnosed with facial nerve schwannoma presenting as a tympanic mass. The woman presented with a history of a slowly progressive hearing loss. Otoscopic examination detected evidence of a soft-tissue mass in the middle ear cleft on the right side. The tympanic membranes were clear and mobile bilaterally. The patient declined surgery. She was fitted with a hearing aid and the status of the tumor was monitored with yearly magnetic resonance imaging scans.
