Case Report (n=1)
Highlights the possibility of encountering benign tumor types in the external auditory canal that carry associated morbidity or mortality due to manifestations outside of the head and neck.
Raises awareness for rare myxomas in the external auditory canal; leaves open questions on incidence and management.
The majority of neoplasms within the external auditory canal are benign. Management of these primary tumors and their local recurrences are discussed herein. We present a case of an isolated myxoma of the external auditory canal with a review of the common histopathological and radiographic features. Although rare, this highlights the possibility of encountering benign tumor types that carry associated morbidity or mortality due to manifestations outside of the head and neck.
