Abstract:
The intradermal nevus is composed of nevus cells which are usually referred to as the melanocytic nevi and is a form of benign cutaneous tumor. Although the intradermal nevi are common benign pigmented skin tumors, their occurrence within the external auditory canal is uncommon. The clinical and pathologic features of the intradermal nevus arising within the external auditory canal are presented, with a review of literature.
