Abstract:
Ceruminous glands are specialized sudoriferous glands located in the external auditory canal (EAC). Tumors originating from these ceruminous glands are rare lesions of EAC; in particular, syringocystadenoma papilliferum (SCAP) is an extremely rare ceruminous glands neoplasm to occur in the EAC. Although it is rare, the association of SCAP with tubular apocrine adenoma in the background of nevus sebaceous on the body, extremities, and scalp is well documented. In this article, we report on a 60-year-old male who presented a mass in EAC, which was surgically removed. The final diagnosis of SCAP was determined by histological analysis and the patient has been well without recurrence.
