title: Schwannoma of the external auditory canal.
abstract: Schwannomas are uncommon tumors of the external auditory canal. In the English literature, very few cases of schwannomas originating in the external auditory canal were reported. In this report, we described a 44-year-old patient who presented with external auditory canal mass which was managed by local excision. The clinical and histologic features, the differential diagnosis, and the treatment of external auditory canal schwannoma is discussed.
