Pak J Otolaryngol Jan ;20(1):14-6.

We present a case of polyp of External Auditory Canal (E.A.C.) in 26 years old male, which turned out to be a ceruminoma on histopathological examination. It is a rare entity arising from the ceruminous glands present in the skin o f outer cartilagineous part o f E.A. C. The most extensive review of the topic lists only 32 cases over a period of 30 years worldwide. Meticulous local medical literature search revealed that this is most likely the first case ever-reported in Pakistan. The wide local excision of the growth was done after Examination Under Microscope (E. U.M.) and tissue sent for histopathological examination, which was reported as `Ceruminoma`. Tympanic membrane was found intact on E. U.M under general anaesthesia.
