Abstract:
The external auditory canal is composed of skin, subcutaneous tissue and gland. The mass originated from external auditory canal can produce otorrhea and some obstructive symptoms. Ceruminoma is a broad term expressing the tumor arising from the ceruminous gland. The ceruminous gland tumors is assigned to one of four categories(adenoma, pleomorphic adenoma, adenocystic carcinoma & adenocarcinoma) by Wetli's protype. The wide local excision is a treatment of choice for all benign ceruminous gland tumors except the malignant tumors needed combined treatment modalities as surgery and radiotherapy. We report our recent experience of two ceruminous adenomas causing ear canal obstruction & otorrhea.
