A case of salivary gland choristoma in the middle ear cavity of a 10-year-old girl is reported. The case was associated with a congenital conductive hearing disorder and lipoma in the left temporal region which caused the auricle to shift to the posterior situation. A 6 × 15 × 3 mm mass was found in her left tympanum and ossicular malformations were also detected. After the removal of the mass, her hearing did not improve. The histological findings revealed a salivary gland choristoma.
