title: Pathologic changes in otitis externa.
abstract: Otitic lesions must be evaluated in the context of the whole animal. Accurate historical and clinical assessments are important aids to the pathologist attempting to reach an accurate diagnosis. Primary lesions of the pinna, with or without involvement of the external ear canal, may be an extension of a more generalized dermatologic problem or may specifically involve the ear because of its unique gross and histologic characteristics.
