Abstract
Hemangiomas of the external auditory canal are extremely rare and the standard management is surgical intervention. Depending on the histopathological characteristics, hemangiomas are classified as either capillary or cavernous types. We present a 36-year-old woman with a capillary hemangioma that involved the external auditory canal and tympanic membrane, with no bony destruction seen on computed tomography. After excision, the patient has remained disease free for 1 year. The relevant literature is reviewed and we summarize the clinical presentation of external auditory canal hemangiomas.Copyright 2005
