Abstract
There are very few primary malignant tumours of the external auditory canal, and adenoid cystic carcinoma is an extremely rare tumour. The majority of patients present with severe or dull unilateral pain, reduced hearing, and a mass in the external ear. Accounting for around 5%. The majority of patients present with severe or dull, constant and prolonged unilateral pain, reduced hearing and a mass in the external ear. These tumours are treated with aggressive surgical excision and adjuvant radiotherapy. Despite this, the overall prognosis is poor due to recurrence and distant metastases. We report a rare case of cystic adenoid carcinoma in a 75-year-old man who presented with right ear fullness for one year. The patient was treated by wide local excision of the mass followed by adjuvant radiotherapy.
