BACKGROUND Cutaneous lesions of external ear are quite common in clinical practice. Patients often present with various cutaneous lesions of the external ear to various disciplines. They are often underdiagnosed as many lesions, though commonly diagnosed by our dermatologist colleague are missed by other clinicians. These lesions can be classified in various ways, according to the aetiology, and according to the anatomic sites. In the present study, we tried to assess the prevalence of different skin lesions affecting external ear presenting to an ENT and skin outpatient department of a tertiary care medical college in Eastern part of India. METHODS This is a descriptive observational study, cross sectional in design. 240 patients attended the outpatient department with cutaneous lesions affecting external ear from January 2019 to February 2020. The patients presenting in both ENT and skin outpatient department were chosen randomly. Cases were diagnosed based on history and clinical examination and appropriate investigation as required. All cases were categorised into 5 types (infective, inflammatory, autoimmune, neoplasm & naevi, and reactive & reparative) according to the aetiology. In each category, prevalence of various skin lesions was recorded. RESULTS A total number of 240 cases were detected during the study period. Among them, infective 43.33 %, inflammatory 30.83 %, autoimmune 9.17 %, neoplasm & naevi 4.17 % and reactive & reparative were 12.82 %. Taenia was the most common lesions encountered (20.51 %) followed by keloid (12.5 %). Impetigo and seborrheic dermatitis shared same number of cases (9.4 %). Neoplastic lesions were the least common. CONCLUSIONS With some awareness and basic knowledge, many of the cutaneous lesions of external ear can be diagnosed and treated whenever patients report to a clinician, thus saving valuable time, effort and money of the patient.

AbstractBackground:This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of otomycosis and aetiological agents in Khouzestan province, south-west Iran.Methods:This cross-sectional study examined and cultured 881 swabs from suspected external otitis cases, collected from throughout Khouzestan province. Fungal agents were identified by slide culture and complementary tests when necessary.Results:The mean patient age was 37 years. The 20–39 year age group had the highest prevalence of otomycosis: 293 cases, comprising 162 (55.3 per cent) women and 131 (44.7 per cent) men. The seasonal distribution of cases was: summer, 44.7 per cent; autumn, 28.7 per cent; winter, 14.7 per cent; and spring, 11.9 per cent. The fungal agents isolated were Aspergillus niger (67.2 per cent), Aspergillus flavus (13 per cent), Candida albicans (11.6 per cent), Aspergillus fumigatus (6.2 per cent) and penicillium species (2 per cent).Conclusion:Fungal otomycosis is still one of the most important external ear diseases. In this study in south-west Iran, Aspergillus niger was the predominant aetiological agent. However, clinicians should be cautious of candidal otomycosis, which has a lower rate of incidence but is more prevalent among 20–39 year olds.

Abstract: Ear is one of the most important organs in human body. Around 20% of information were obtained from both ears daily. If hearing disorder occurs in students, they will show abnormalities, decrease of study prestation, and difficulties in social adaptation. This study aimed to obtain data about external ear health of students in SMA Negeri 9 Manado. This was an observational descriptive study with a cross sectional approach. Total respondents were 35 students. Examinations of external ears were done by ear, nose, and throat specialists. The results showed that all students had normal earlobes. Ear canal examination showed that 10 students had cerumen in the right and left ear canals, and 1 student had cerumen in left ear canal. Examination of tympani membrane showed that there were 32 students had normal membranes, 1 student had perforation, retraction, and bombans of the right and left membranes, and 2 students could not be evaluated. Conclusion: Most students of SMA Negeri 9 Manado had normal ears.Keywords: ear health, students of senior high school Abstrak: Telinga merupakan salah satu alat indra yang penting. Sebagai indra pendengaran, telinga dapat menyerap sebesar 20% informasi dari kehidupan sehari-hari. Jika terdapat gangguan indra pendengaran pada masa sekolah maka anak akan menunjukkan kelainan perkembangan, menurunnya hasil belajar, dan kesulitan penyesuaian dalam pergaulan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan gambaran kesehatan telinga siswa SMA Negeri 9 Manado. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif observasional dengan pendekatan potong lintang. Sampel penelitian sebanyak 35 siswa. Pengambilan data dilakukan dengan pemeriksaan meatus akustikus eksterna oleh dokter spesialis bagian THT-KL. Hasil penelitian memperlihatkan semua siswa mempunyai daun telinga normal. Pemeriksaan liang telinga mendapatkan 10 siswa dengan serumen di telinga kanan dan kiri, dan 1 siswa dengan serumen hanya pada telinga kiri.
