title: [Primary carcinoma of the external auditory canal and the middle ear. Apropos of 14 cases].
abstract: Fourteen carcinomas of the external auditory canal and middle ear are presented regrouping eleven squamous cell carcinomas, two adenocarcinomas and one adenoid cystic carcinoma. Results are analyzed according to the treatment employed: surgery and/or radiotherapy. Four local recurrences occurred, two after radiation as initial treatment and two after surgery completed by radiation. Tumors strictly limited to the skin of the auditory canal and treated surgically are free of disease. A new classification is proposed in order to simplify and clarify the therapeutic indications and prognosis.
