Hemangioma is a common benign vascular tumor. They can be grouped into two main subtypes as cavernous and capillary hemangiomas. Tympanic membrane is a very rare site of localization. They generally occur as dark purple colored lesions at the posterior quadrant of the tympanic membrane. Tympanic membrane hemangiomas can be misdiagnosed as glomus tympanicum, pyogenic granuloma or carcinoma. Although they are usually asymptomatic, they can also cause otalgia, otorrhea and conductive hearing loss. The therapy for tympanic hemangioma is total excision of the lesion. When we reviewed the literature, we found only 10 cases of tympanic hemangiomas, and in this paper, we discussed two new cases.
