CAVERNOUS HEMANGIOMA OF THE EARDRUM AND EXTERNAL AUDITORY CANAL: CASE PRESENTATION AND REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Journal Title: Journal of Hearing Science - Year 2016, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Background: An external auditory canal cavernous hemangioma, with or without involvement of the eardrum and middle ear (ME), is rare; only 23 cases have been described so far. Conclusions: Treatment is achieved by excising the entire lesion, using a transcanal, endaural, or postauricural approach. For hemangiomas extending to the medial aspect of the external auditory canal or the tympanic membrane, a retroauricular approach is favoured. Case report: We present a patient with cavernous hemangioma of the external auditory canal, which extended to the tympanic cavity and presented with intermittent episodes of bleeding. Total excision was curative with no recurrence at 9-month follow up. In addition, the literature is reviewed with respect to epidemiology, presentation, evaluation and treatment options for hemangiomas arising from the external ear canal.
