Isolated myxomas of the external auditory canal are extremely rare, benign tumors. We present a case of a 77-year-old male patient who presented with a benign mass in the right external auditory canal. Isolated myxomas of the tragus around the external auditory canal are rare. This case report highlights the clinical presentation, surgical management, and pathological findings of this patient. The importance of considering myxoma in the differential diagnosis of benign tumors of the external auditory canal is emphasized. Long-term follow-up is necessary to monitor for potential recurrence or associated conditions. Further studies are needed to better understand the etiology, pathogenesis, and optimal management of this rare type of tumor.
外耳道孤立性黏液瘤是极其罕见的良性肿瘤。我们报告一例77岁男性患者,其右侧外耳道出现一个良性肿块。外耳道周围耳屏的孤立性黏液瘤很罕见。本病例报告重点介绍了该患者的临床表现、手术治疗及病理结果。强调了在鉴别诊断外耳道良性肿瘤时考虑黏液瘤的重要性。需要进行长期随访以监测潜在的复发或相关情况。还需要进一步研究以更好地了解这种罕见肿瘤的病因、发病机制及最佳治疗方法。
