Abstract
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.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Audiology and Otology (JAO) (formerly known as Korean Journal of Audiology) aims to publish the most advanced findings for all aspects of the auditory and vestibular system and diseases of the ear using state-of-the-art techniques and analyses. The journal covers recent trends related to the topics of audiology, otology, and neurotology conducted by professionals, with the goal of providing better possible treatment to people of all ages, from infants to the elderly, who suffer from auditory and/or vestibular disorders and thus, improving their quality of life. This journal encourages the submission of review papers about current professional issues, research papers presenting a scientific base and clinical application, and case papers with unique reports or clinical trials. We also invite letters to the editor and papers related to the manufacture and distribution of medical devices. This journal provides integrated views from otologists, audiologists, and other healthcare practitioners, offering readers high quality scientific and clinical information. This peer-reviewed and open access journal has been the official journal of the Korean Audiological Society since 1997 and of both the Korean Audiological Society and the Korean Otological Society since 2017. It is published in English four times a year in January, April, July, and October.
