Hemangioma is a subtype of benign vascular tumors. Although they are commonly found in head and neck region, they are rare in the external auditory canal. Few cases reported capillary hemangioma in the external auditory canal with surgical excision is the mainstay of management and low recurrence rate. We present a 41-year-old woman with left external auditory canal capillary hemangioma and cartilage with its perichondrium graft was used for repairing the defect after surgical excision.
Mature teratoma is a benign germ cell tumor rarely located in the temporal bone. We are reporting a case of a mature teratoma of the temporal bone in a healthy borne 3.5-month-old baby girl with a 2-day suggestive history of otitis media and polypoidal mass expulsing from the external auditory canal of the left ear. A definitive diagnosis is made after complete excision and histological examination of the tissue. Total surgical excision of the tumor is the treatment of choice.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
