Squamous Papilloma of the External Auditory Canal

Abstract

A 24-year-old man presented with a papillomatous lesion within the right ear canal and adjoining conchal skin. Histopathologic examination of the excised mass revealed features of squamous papilloma. The site of origin was quite unusual, despite its frequent occurrence in the head and neck such as nose, pharynx, larynx, tracheobronchial tree. We present a case of squamous papilloma presenting as aural lesion with a review of the literature.
