Making Milestones: Development and Implementation of a Formal Socioeconomic Curriculum in a Neurosurgical Residency Training Program.

abstract：:Adenomatous tumors of the middle ear are rare, with only approximately 100 cases reported. A distinct subclass of this tumor demonstrates microscopic papillary architecture and has a propensity to erode the petrous bone and extend intracranially. The term "aggressive papillary middle ear tumor" has recently been propo...
