Localization of inflammation of tympanic cavity was studied in 172 temporal bones of otitis media histopathologically. The 16 different sites of tympanic cavity were chosen for observation, and the frequency of inflammation in each site was compared. Sites in which frequency of inflammation was more than 60% were seen in round window niche, mastoid cells, epitympanic cells and facial recess. It was thought that frequency of inflammation was related to structure of cavity, aeration, immunologic activity or structure of the epithelium.
