Summary: ABSTRACT: This is a case of a 39 year old, female with recurrent ear discharge accompanied by otalgia for 3 months. The patient was initially assessed as Diffuse Otitis Externa and Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media with Aural Mass, Left.Both otic and oral antibiotics were given but failed to treat the condition. Tissue biopsy of the aural mass was done and revealed histologic sections of tissue fragments harboring sheets of atypical squamous cells invading the stroma. Computed Tomography of the Temporal Bone was requested and showed ill-defined soft tissue density in the left periauricular region which extends into the external auditory canal with no extensions to the middle ear cavity with considerations of infectious versus neoplastic process. Resection of the Left Temporal Bone (using external approach), Excision of the Left Parotid Tumor and Left Mandibular Condyle, Radical Neck Dissection on the left and Reconstruction of the defect using Pectoralis Major Myocutaneous Flap were done. The specimen was sent for histopathology and final results revealed Squamous Cell Carcinoma, mild to moderately differentiated.
