About this Condition
Granulomas can occur in the mastoid air cells as well as the middle ear.
They are a nodular inflammatory lesion which is formed from granulation tissue.
On some occasions granulomas can progress to bleeding and are a common cause for bleeding into the eardrum seen by otoscopy (looking in the ear).
