AbstractObjective:We report a rare case of otological presentation of craniopharyngioma.Method:Case report and review of world literature concerning presentations of craniopharyngioma.Results:A six-year-old girl was referred to our department with unilateral hearing loss. This appeared to be a complete sensorineural hearing loss. Otoacoustic emissions were reproducible on both sides. Magnetic resonance scanning revealed a massive, cystic craniopharyngioma exerting pressure on the patient's ventricular system and brainstem and also invading the internal acoustic canal. The mass was resected via a craniotomy. The patient's hearing loss completely recovered, and she experienced no neurological or endocrinological side effects of the treatment. Craniopharyngioma have a prevalence of 0.13–2:100 000.Conclusion:Craniopharyngioma is a rare disease. First presentation with otological symptoms is extremely rare. Otoacoustic emissions can differentiate between cochlear and retrocochlear causes of sensorineural hearing loss.

We report the case of a patient who came to us for evaluation of a progressive unilateral hearing loss and who was found to have a sebaceous nevus in an unusual location: the external auditory canal. A sebaceous nevus is a congenital organoid mass that occurs primarily on the face, scalp, and periauricular regions. Despite the predilection of sebaceous nevi for the head and neck, reports of this lesion rarely appear in the otolaryngology literature. Left untreated, the lesion can progress through three stages of gross and histopathologic development; a sebaceous nevus begins as a small benign papule, grows into an enlarging mass with different characteristics, and ultimately becomes a secondary neoplasm. The lesion's potential for malignant transformation and its association with syndromes underscores the importance of prompt recognition and appropriate management. This case report adds the sebaceous nevus to the differential diagnosis of external auditory canal lesions and provides essential information about this rare mass.
