ABSTRACT

Schwannomas originating from the external auditory canal are relatively uncommon whereas they are commonly found in head and neck region. The authors recently experienced a 18-year-old male with a large mass in his right side external auditory canal. The mass was reported as a schwannoma and after the local excision, no symptom or sign of recurrence was identified. We report the case with literatures. (J Clinical Otolaryngol 2018;29: 250-253)
