Abstract:
We present a case of a 68-year-old lady with an insidious progressive history of otorrhea, otalgia, and reduced hearing for 3 months. She was treated for malignant otitis externa and was treated with systemic antibiotic but showed subtherapeutic response to treatment. She underwent examination under anaesthesia and biopsy with tumour debulking of the right ear via posterior auricular approach and histopathological examination revealed squamous papilloma of the external auditory canal. She recovered well after surgery and was asymptomatic during follow-up.
