Abstract
This is a report on a patient of 74 years of age presenting with ear g ain and bleeding granulations on his tympanic membrane. X-ray of the m astoid revealed partial destruction of the bone structures and reduced pneumatisation. A tumour that was mainly located in the temporal bone was surgically removed and proved to be a leiomyosarcoma. This is the first case of a leiomyosarcoma of the temporal bone to be described, Differential diagnosis and therapy of this tumour are discussed.
