Hemangioma of the external auditory canal in an adolescent male: Report of a case and review of the literature

We report a case of a hemangioma causing conductive hearing loss in a 15-year-old male. This is the first case of a hemangioma isolated to the EAC in an adolescent and the first to be described as being of the venous subtype. Imprecise terminology has historically made the diagnosis and classification of these lesions difficult. We use this opportunity to not only shed light upon this unique case, but to briefly compare current classification schemes and review the literature relating to hemangiomas involving the EAC.
