Melanocytic nevus (MN) is a common skin lesion; however, its presence in the external auditory canal (EAC) is uncommon. Following previous reports on various treatment approaches, we share our experience with endoscopic resection in managing a case of MN in EAC. A 44-year-old woman presented with prolonged ear blockage with intermittent whitish ear discharge for the past year. Single-handed endoscopic resection is effective in treating a rare external auditory canal melanocytic nevus. This report also illustrates the benefits of endoscopy in early diagnosis and management.
