Ceruminoma is a catch-all term that has caused much confusion both in the literature and in clinical practice in regard to the specific histologic diagnosis and proper treatment for tumors arising from the ceruminous glands of the external ear canal. The term ceruminoma has been used in the past to refer to both benign and malignant lesions. To clarify the terminology and better determine appropriate treatment, two cases of benign adenoma of the ceruminous glands along with their histopathologic findings will be presented. The specific characterization of the individual types of ceruminous gland neoplasms, their clinical manifestations, histopathology, and recommended treatment will then be discussed. Finally, suggestions for the appropriate nomenclature for these rare tumors will be reviewed.
耵聍腺瘤是一个综合性术语，在关于外耳道耵聍腺来源肿瘤的具体组织学诊断和恰当治疗方面，无论是在文献中还是临床实践中都引发了诸多困惑。过去，耵聍腺瘤这一术语曾用于指代良性和恶性病变。为了厘清术语并更好地确定合适的治疗方法，将呈现两例耵聍腺良性腺瘤病例及其组织病理学发现。随后将讨论耵聍腺肿瘤各类型的具体特征、临床表现、组织病理学及推荐的治疗方法。最后，将审视针对这些罕见肿瘤的合适命名建议。
