Middle-ear lipoma is very rare and it is difficult to differentiate preoperatively from other middle-ear tumors. We report a 5-year-old boy with middle-ear lipoma that was diagnosed preoperatively as congenital cholesteatoma in the tympanic cavity. To date, 5 cases of middle-ear lipoma have been reported in the world. We reviewed this literature, and our lipoma case was compared with those in the other reported cases.
