A case of nevocellular nevi in the bony part of the external auditory meatus

Abstract

Nevocellular nevi represents about 20% of all benign tumors in the external auditory meatus (EAM). However, it is rare for such cases to occur in the bony part of EAM. We experienced a case of nevocellular nevi in the bony part of EAM. The diagnosis was based on the findings of a pathological study and it was thus excised. The patient is now under observation at the outpatient clinic and there has so far been no evidence of recurrence.
