Cavernous Hemangioma of the External Auditory Canal: A Case Report
|
|
|
|
|
Abstract
|
|
|
|
Hemangiomas are common benign neoplasms that frequently involve regions of the head and neck. However, cavernous hemangioma is extremely rare in the external auditory canal. We recently experienced a 46-year-old man with a cavernous hemangioma of the external auditory canal without invasion into the tympanic membrane. It was excised en bloc without significant bleeding. This case report represents the seventh such lesion reported in the literature and the first to be seen in Korea. The clinical presentation and surgical management are discussed with a review of the literature.
