Carcinomas of external auditory canal (EAC) are rare. Radiological imaging particular in computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays an important role in the staging, treatment planning and follow up of the patients with malignant EAC tumor. This article aims to review the role of CT and MRI in the describing different tumor growth pattern, tumor staging, treatment planning, follow up and predicting the prognosis of malignant tumors of EAC.
外耳道癌（EAC）较为罕见。放射影像学检查，尤其是计算机断层扫描（CT）和磁共振成像（MRI），在EAC恶性肿瘤患者的分期、治疗规划及随访中发挥着重要作用。本文旨在综述CT和MRI在描述EAC恶性肿瘤的不同肿瘤生长模式、肿瘤分期、治疗规划、随访及预测预后方面的作用。
