A variety of medical specialists are exposed to patients who seek treatment of external ear neoplasms. They are uncommon occurrences, and malignancies of the external ear are even rarer. Only 1 patient in 10,000 with an ear complaint will have a pathologically proven malignancy of the external ear. Tumors of the external ear, both malignant and benign, commonly resemble one another. A timely and correct diagnosis is necessary to avoid affecting the external ear's ability to collect sound, but also to avoid the more morbid and mortal complications of an external ear malignancy. This paper briefly outlines the epidemiology of external ear tumors, their etiology, related histopathology, and treatment, which encompasses a myriad of modalities and specialties.
各类医学专家都会接触到寻求外耳肿瘤治疗的患者。外耳肿瘤并不常见，外耳恶性肿瘤更是罕见。每10000名耳部不适患者中只有1例会被病理证实患有外耳恶性肿瘤。外耳肿瘤，无论良性还是恶性，通常彼此相似。及时、正确的诊断不仅对于避免影响外耳的集音能力很有必要，而且对于避免外耳恶性肿瘤引发的更严重、致命的并发症也很有必要。本文简要概述了外耳肿瘤的流行病学、病因、相关组织病理学及治疗方法，治疗方法涉及多种方式和专业领域。
