Abstract
Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is the most common leukemia observed in the adult population, accounting for 80% of all leukemia cases. Extramedullary involvement in AML, where leukemic cells are found in organs or tissues outside the blood or bone marrow, is a rare occurrence [1]. The most frequent sites of extramedullary disease include the skin, central nervous system (CNS), and lymph nodes [2, 3]. In this case report, we present an instance of extramedullary AML in the temporal bone, which initially presented with symptoms such as earache, discharge, and facial asymmetry, mimicking acute suppurative otitis media with facial palsy. The patient underwent mastoid exploration and facial nerve decompression. A post-operative bone marrow biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of AML, leading to the initiation of chemotherapy. The patient is currently under follow-up care.

Indian Journal of Otolaryngology and Head & Neck Surgery was founded as Indian Journal of Otolaryngology in 1949 as a scientific Journal published by the Association of Otolaryngologists of India and was later rechristened as IJOHNS to incorporate the changes and progress.
IJOHNS, undoubtedly one of the oldest Journals in India, is the official publication of the Association of Otolaryngologists of India and is about to publish it is 67th Volume in 2015.
