Pleomorphic Adenoma of the External Auditory Canal: A Rare Presentation

الملخص EN

A 55-year-old male presented with a nine-month history of gradually enlarging, painless mass in the right external auditory canal associated with hearing loss and occasional bleeding.

Examination demonstrated complete obstruction of the outer 1/3 of the external auditory canal by a firm, pink, rubbery mass.

CT scan of the temporal bone showed tumor mass with no evidence of bone destruction.

The tumor was excised and histopathology confirmed a diagnosis of ceruminous pleomorphic adenoma of the external auditory canal.

Six months following the surgery, patient is free of any recurrent disease.
