The sebaceous glands and the ceruminal glands exist as glandular tissues in the external acoustic meatus. Many ceruminal glands are distributed in the cartilagious portion of the external acoustic meatus and belong to apocrine glands histologically. Tumors seldom occur in the ceruminal glands.
Recently, we experienced a case of ceruminous adenoma. A 36-year-old man visited our hospital. He complained of a feeling of fullness in the left ear and of ear pain. A diagnosis of adenoma in the left external acoustic meatus was made from the histological examination of the tumor in his left external acoustic meatus, and the tumor was extirpated. This ttissue was examined histologically, and an established diagnosis of clear cell hydroadenoma from ceruminal glands was made.
We report the case together with some discussion with reference to the past literature, domestic and international.
