Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the external auditory canal in an HIV-positive patient.
This is a case report of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the external auditory canal, and infratemporal fossa, which presented with multiple cranial nerve palsies. The diagnosis was achieved via biopsy of tissue from the external auditory canal, and treatment with radiation therapy led to improvement of the symptoms. The management of AIDS-related lymphoma of the skull base with cranial neuropathies is reviewed.
