Ceruminoma with Intracranial Invasion

—Case Report—

Abstract

Ceruminous gland tumors (ceruminomas), which usually involve the external auditory canal, are rare. A case of ceruminoma invading the temporal bone and histologically proven to be papillary adenoma is presented. The tumor recurred and invaded intracranially after subtotal removal and was finally diagnosed as adenocarcinoma. The importance of early diagnosis and radical treatment is stressed.
