Abstract

A 30-year old healthy lady came with left ear hearing loss and blood discharging from her ear since three months. On physical examination, there was a red mass arising externally from auditory canal which bleeds easily with a touch. She did not have any neck mass. Computerize tomography showed a soft tissue mass in anterior wall of the canal and. During the surgery, the mass invaded the cartilaginous part of the canal anteriorly. The whole mass was excised with a piece of cartilage. The histopathology revealed variable sized blood vessels in dermis. Strong positive staining of blood vessels with the CD 31 stain endothelial cell markers confirmed Lobular capillary hemangioma. Here we report a rare case of pyogenic granuloma arising from external auditory canal.
