Abstract :
EAC osteomas are rare, benign, unilateral,
solitary tumour, which are slow growing. usually
asymptomatic and are found incidentally. But they
rarely present with conductive hearing loss, otalgia,
mass, aural fullness, tinnitus in large lesion completely
occluding the EAC. Diagnosis is based on clinical
examination, radiographic imaging, and histopathology.
They are often confused with EAC exostosis and must be
differentiated from EAC osteomas. We present a case of
28yrs old male patient presented to ENT Department
with complaints of mass in the right external auditory
canal for 1 year and decreased hearing and blocking
sensation in the right ear during the last 3 months. After
examination and imaging, it was diagnosed as right EAC
osteoma. surgical excision via post auricular approach
was done
