Dış Kulak Yolu Adenoid Kistik Karsinomu

Dış kulak yolunu içeren primer malignite nadirdir, bunların % 80'inde skuamöz hücreli karsinom,% 5'inde adenoid kistik karsinom vardır. Bu tümörler yüksek nüks oranları, cerrahi tedavi ve adjuvan radyoterapiden kaynaklanan önemli morbiditeler ve ayrıca hastanın ölümüyle bilinirler. Yineleyen sağ kulak ağrısı ile başvuran sağ kulak kanal kitlesi olan yaşlı bir kadın olgusunu sunuyoruz. Tümör eksize edildikten sonra adenoid kistik karsinom olduğu doğrulandı. Bu vaka, dış kulak yolunu içeren adenoid kistik karsinomların varlığının nadir olduğunu göstermektedir ve gizli başlangıcı klinik olarak iyi huylu bir durum olarak yanlış anlaşılabilir.

External Ear Canal Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma

Primary malignancy involving the external auditory canal is rare, with 80% ofthem being squamous cell carcinoma while 5% of them are adenoid cysticcarcinoma. These tumours are known for its high rates of recurrence,significant morbidities from surgical management and adjuvant radiotherapy,as well as eventual death of the patient. We describe a case of an elderlyfemale with right ear canal mass who presented with recurrent right ear pain.After the tumour was excised, it was confirmed to be adenoid cysticcarcinoma. This case highlights the rarity of the entity of adenoid cysticcarcinomas involving the external auditory canal; and how its subtle initialpresentation can be mistaken to be a clinically benign condition.
