title: [Advanced squamous carcinoma of external ear canal].
abstract: Squamous carcinoma of the external ear canal (CEEC) is an uncommon neoplasm which prognostic changes following the tumour spread. Because of its location in ECC as well as the anatomical fissures between osseous and cartilaginous parties it's possible the spread to areas of surgical accessibility complicated restricting the complete tumoral removal. We report one of those cases, when first visited had already meningeal infiltration and was accordingly treated with radiotherapy. Analysis of the case and review of the literature.
