Hemangioma is a frequently observed soft tissue tumor that can be classified into cavernous, capillary, and venous subtypes. It occurs frequently in the head and neck; however, with rare reports of hemangiomas in the external auditory canal (EAC). The present study describes the case of a 57-year-old male patient who presented to our center with a subsequent diagnosis of capillary hemangioma of the EAC. The entire lesion was surgically removed, with no evidence of recurrence on the subsequent follow-up.

Anatomy of the Ear

Auditory sensation, commonly called hearing, involves the transformation of sonic waves into neural impulses facilitated by the structures of the auditory organ. The prominent, flesh-like structure on the side of the head, called the auricle, directs sound waves towards the auditory canal. The auricle is often mislabeled as the pinna, a term more aligned with mobile structures like a feline's external ear. The auditory canal penetrates the cranium via the external auditory meatus of the...

The Cochlea01:13

The Cochlea

The cochlea is a coiled structure in the inner ear that contains hair cells—the sensory receptors of the auditory system. Sound waves are transmitted to the cochlea by small bones attached to the eardrum called the ossicles, which vibrate the oval window that leads to the inner ear. This causes fluid in the chambers of the cochlea to move, vibrating the basilar membrane.
