Abstract EN
Introduction.
External auditory canal polyps usually reflect an inflammatory process.
Rarely, they may reflect a serious condition that warrants urgent intervention.
Case Report.
A 19-year-old deaf mute female presented to our department with persistent left ear discharge and a reddish mass in the ear.
After surgery, the cause was identified as a neglected foreign body.
Tympanic membrane was intact.
Conclusion.
Aural polyp that is resistant to medical treatment should raise the suspicion of an inflammatory polyp with underlying chronic suppurative otitis media or foreign body.
Rarer neoplastic and immunological causes should also be considered.
