Abstract:
While intradermal nevi are common benign pigmented skin tumors, their occurrence within the external auditory canal(EAC) is uncommon. We experienced a case of huge intradermal nevus which almost completely obstructed EAC without accompanying conductive hearing loss. It originated in the anterior wall of cartilaginous portion of EAC. It was treated by en bloc excision with split skin graft. The clinical and pathologic features of the intradermal nevus arising within the external auditory canal are presented, and the literatures were reviewed.
