THE CASE

Credit: Author supplied

During a routine office visit for mild acute nasal congestion and possible diminished hearing, an isolated, small, pearl-like mass was noted just posterior to the umbo of the left tympanic membrane (TM) of a 5-year-old girl. She was otherwise well. There was no history of traumatic perforation of the tympanic membrane or otorrhea.
