Abstrakt: Otalgia is a common complaint seen by general practitioners, but its etiology is vast. Rarely, otalgia could be secondary to a neoplasm. We describe a case of otalgia and ear discharge in which the imaging revealed a rare neoplasm, an endolymphatic sac tumor, which contributed to the patient's symptoms. The primary diagnosis was made via characteristic imaging features that were later confirmed by histology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
