Solitary neurofibroma in the external auditory canal

Abstract

Significance Statement: Neurofibromas, derived from perineural cells, are usually benign in the nervous system. Although neurofibromas are common in the head and neck, they rarely affect the external auditory canal (EAC), and few cases have been reported. We describe a case of a solitary EAC neurofibroma with otoscopy, radiological imaging, a surgical approach, and an uneventful outcome.
