“…One case each of Squamous cell carcinoma and glomus tumor were reported. These findings were similar to a study conducted by Gliklich et al and Agarwal et al 2,3 Histopathological analysis of surgical specimens after simple aural polypectomy is essential in confirming the diagnosis, discovery of unusual lesions, and also assists in the subsequent management of the patients.…”

Background: The study of the aural polyp was undertaken to emphasize various causes of the aural polyp and to highlight the importance of histopathology in the management of these cases.Methods: 50 patients who attended the ENT outpatient department with aural polyp were taken for the study. Aural polypectomy was done after clinical, radiological evaluation and examination under the microscope. Tissue was sent for histopathological examination. Results: The most common lesion was found to be Inflammatory polyp (50%), followed by cholesteatoma (30%), chronic non-specific inflammation (10%). Others included abscess (6%). One case each of squamous cell carcinoma and glomus were also reported. Conclusions: Aural polypectomy, followed by histopathological examination, may uncover serious disease processes and will assist in planning further management in extensive diseases. Though inflammatory polyp is the most common cause, vascular and malignant tumors should also be considered while evaluating the case.

“…Aural cholesteatoma, a middle ear disease entity described first by Cruveilhier in 1829 as a pearly tumor is yet in many respects ill understood. This dangerous disease process has so much to reveal even after more than a century of its discovery [4]. The standard management of chronic suppurative otitis media is surgical.…”

Background: Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media (CSOM) is a significant cause of preventable hearing loss. Global emergence of resistant strains is of great concern. The aim of the present study was to assess the accuracy and predictive value of computed tomography in diagnosis of unsafe chronic suppurative otitis media. Methods: Aprospective, analytical study was conducted among 90 patients with complaint of unsafe chronic suppurative otitis media which were randomly selected from outpatient Department of Otorhinolaryngology at Subharti Medical College, Dehradun, Uttarakhand. The patients comprised of both males as well as females and also of different age groups. Results: Out of 90 patients, 61(67.22%) were males followed by 29 (32.22%) females. The minimum age of patient in the study was of 8years and the maximum age of patient in study of 50 years. Maximum number of patients belonged to the age group of 11-20 (50%). The mean age in this study was 23 years. Among study subjects, 32 (35.55%) cases had conductive hearing loss, 11 (12.22%) cases had sensorineural type, 40 (44.44%) had mixed type and 7 (7.77%) had no response. In this study, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value was calculated of computed tomography findings as compared to preoperative findings. The sensitivity of HRCT for mastoid was 100%, visualization malleus was 94.11%, incus was also 62.31%, stapes was 47.22% and facial N dehiscent and intact was 44.82%. Similarly, the specificity of CT scan for mastoid was 83.33%, malleus was 92.85%, incus was 61.90%, stapes erosion was 37.03% and facial N dehiscent was 96.72%. Conclusion: The present study was concluded that computed tomography can accurately image the findings in unsafe chronic suppurative otitis media and represents a major advance in the diagnostic imaging of this disease.

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.
