Malignant neoplasms of the external auditory canal (EAC), the middle and inner ear are rare. Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the most common neoplasm of these sites, followed by basal cell carcinoma (BCC), adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC), ceruminous adenocarcinoma and middle ear adenocarcinoma.

Objectives: This study aims to analyze the treatments, prognostic variables, and outcomes of patients with squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) of the external auditory canal (EAC) and middle ear treated in our department over a 15-year period.

SCC of the EAC represents a rare and challenging condition to be managed. Its locally aggressive behavior (32.3% of local recurrence recorded in the pooled analysis of the 282 cases included) dictates a radical surgical excision with free surgical margins on pathological examination.

Third recurrence of SCC external auditory canal, previously resected with right parotidectomy. The images demonstrate recurrent soft tissue in keeping with tumor recurrence in the right parotid space surgical bed.

Surgery followed by adjuvant therapy should remain the mainstay of treatment for EAC and TB SCC. IMRT should be the preferred modality for RT due to lower late morbidity. Elective nodal irradiation is routinely not warranted in the adjuvant setting …

Feb 4, 2022 · Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the external auditory canal (EAC) arises from the external ear and is a quite rare form of head and neck cancer, comprising less than 0.2% of all head and neck tumors.

Mar 24, 2023 · Squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) of the external auditory canal (EAC) are rare tumors representing a surgical challenge. Current knowledge is based largely on case series; thus, the level of evidence is weak. This study sought to systematically review the available SCC of the EAC literature and to ide …

Feb 15, 2022 · Malignant tumors of the external auditory canal (EAC) are rare tumors in the head and neck. Delayed diagnosis is not uncommon because the symptoms of early tumors are nonspecific. Various surgical and oncological treatment modalities have been reported.

May 1, 2022 · Surgery followed by adjuvant therapy should remain the mainstay of treatment for EAC and TB SCC. IMRT should be the preferred modality for RT due to lower late morbidity. Elective nodal irradiation is routinely not warranted in the adjuvant setting for EAC and TB squamous cell carcinomas.

Aug 1, 2018 · Malignant neoplasms of the external auditory canal (EAC), the middle and inner ear are rare. Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the most common neoplasm of these sites, followed by basal cell carcinoma (BCC), adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC), ceruminous adenocarcinoma and middle ear adenocarcinoma.
