A case of external auditory canal chondroma

Abstract: The differential diagnosis for an external auditory canal mass is relatively broad, with exostosis, osteoma, fibroma, keratoma, and congenital cholesteatoma among the more common diagnoses. However, an additional diagnosis, external auditory canal chondroma, should also be considered in the differential. These rare lesions are most often found in individuals of Asian ancestry. However, this is not always the case as demonstrated by this case report of an external auditory canal chondroma in a Caucasian teenager.
