A 49-year-old female patient presented with mass occluding her external auditory meatus. Surgical exploration revealed that the mass eroded the bony canal wall and biopsy reported the mass as a schwannoma. Schwannoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a soft tissue swelling arising from the external auditory canal.
