Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 1
Abstract
Malignant tumours of external auditory canal are rare, adenoid cystic carcinoma is being of the rarest of these tumours. Due to its unusual clinical presentation, unpredictable behavior and perineural invasion it is of utmost importance to detect the tumour early which will save the precious life of a patient. We present here a case of young female (28 years old) with left external auditory canal mass which was initially suspected as granuloma, postoperative biopsy and Immunohistochemistry confirmed it as Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the EAC which is a rare case in the literature.
