초록
A 45-year-old female patient visited the clinic due to ear fullness. A 8 mm sized mass was found in the external auditory canal. It was surgically removed and the pathology exam confirmed epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma (EMC). EMC is glandular epithelial neoplasm of the salivary gland. EMC originating from the external auditory canal is very rare, and only 1 case has been reported so far in the literature. The difference between our case and the one previously published was that the tumor was previously proven as a benign tumor (i.e. pleomorphic adenoma) 5 years ago. Therefore, this is the first case in the literature showing the evolvement of pleomorphic adenoma of the external auditory canal into EMC.
Abstract

EMC originating from the external auditory canal is very rare, and only 1 case has been reported so far in the literature. The difference between our case and the one previously published was that the tumor was previously proven as a benign tumor (i.e. pleomorphic adenoma) 5 years ago. Therefore, this is the first case in the literature showing the evolvement of pleomorphic adenoma of the external auditory canal into EMC.
