<p class="abstract">Independently arising acrochordon of the external auditory canal is a rare entity with only one reported case in literature. We present here the second such case. A 54-yr old lady presented to our outpatient department with complains of aural fullness and reduced hearing in right ear for 2 weeks. Clinical examination showed a pedunculated polypoidal growth in the external auditory canal. Excisional biopsy and histopathology revealed an acrochordon. Following the procedure, patient was free of symptoms and all structures of the right ear were normal. In the head and neck region, acrochordons have only but once been reported in the external auditory canal and hence should be considered as a differential diagnosis in the masses of this region. Resection must be done for confirmation of diagnosis, differentiation from neoplasia and alleviation of symptoms when associated.  </p>

Different Characteristics

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.

Objective: To present a rare case of inverted papilloma of the middle ear in a 77-year old man presenting with an external auditory canal polyp of the right ear. Methods                           Study Design:          Case Report                           Setting:                     Tertiary Private Hospital                           Patient:                    One (1) Results:             A 77-year old man presenting with external auditory canal mass underwent tympanoplasty with canal wall down mastoidectomy. Histopathologic examination revealed inverted papilloma. Conclusion: With only 30 cases reported in the literature, inverted papilloma of the middle ear is a rare disease entity that may mimic other benign conditions such as cholesteatoma. It requires further investigation to devise a rational approach to diagnosis and management. Regular post-operative monitoring is essential due to high recurrence and malignant transformation rate, while post-operative radiotherapy remains controversial and requires further investigation.   Keywords: Inverted papilloma, cholesteatoma, middle ear

Surprising Finding

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.

Rare Diagnosis

Here, we report a unique case in which a fibroepithelial polyp was found in the cartilaginous part of the external auditory canal of a 2-year-old child. The polyp was successfully treated by excision using an endaural approach and healed without complications. This is the very first report of a fibroepithelial polyp in the external auditory canal in the pediatric population. Although fibroepithelial polyp is an extremely rare diagnosis, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a child’s external auditory canal polyp.

External Auditory Canal Cholesteatoma

External auditory canal cholesteatoma (EACC) is a rare condition with an estimated incidence of 1.2 per 1000 new otological patients. It is often mistaken with keratosis obturans. We discuss an extensive primary EACC with an aural polyp in a male which was managed by modified radical mastoidectomy.

There is an extensive differential diagnosis for lesions of the external auditory canal, including congenital, benign, locally aggressive, and malignant processes. Although external auditory canal lesions are commonly identified clinically, imaging is helpful to determine if the process is isolated to the external auditory canal or to evaluate the extent of involvement of adjacent structures. Because staging of external auditory canal malignancy is based on the location and extent of tumor rather than the cell type, multimodality imaging is often necessary for surgical planning. This article reviews defining clinical and imaging features of external auditory canal lesions, presents an organized approach to their characterization on CT and MR imaging, and discusses their surgical implications.Learning Objective: To review the differential diagnosis of external auditory canal lesions and recognize their key imaging and clinical features, including surgical implications.

AbstractObjectives:To present a rare case of rectal adenocarcinoma metastasising to the external auditory canal, in a patient in whom computed tomography staging of the abdomen, chest and pelvis was clear for metastatic disease.Methods:Case report and review of the literature.Conclusions:Metastatic tumours to the external auditory canal are rare, with rectal adenocarcinoma being one of the rarest. However, it is important that the external auditory canal is regarded as a potential site for metastasis, even when computed tomography staging is clear. Metastatic tumour should be included in the differential diagnosis of a patient presenting with an ear mass.
