“…The present case series describes the clinical features and management of ACC of the EAC. Although several studies have reported patients with ACC of the EAC, most of these have been reports of single cases (11,(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26), with only a few including more than three patients (4,(15)(16)(17). The present study included 23 patients from a single center and, to the best of our knowledge, is the largest reported series to date.…”

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the external auditory canal (EAC) is a rare tumor. The present study aimed to describe the clinical features and survival of patients with ACC of the EAC. The present retrospective study included 23 patients (mean age, 51.4±15.4 years; 12 males) diagnosed with ACC of the EAC between January 2010 and September 2017 at The First Affiliated Hospital of The Third Military Medical University (Chongqing, China). The median disease course was 24 months. The presenting features were earache in 16 patients, otorrhea in 7 patients, hearing loss in 5 patients, feeling of aural fullness in 2 patients and EAC mass in 4 patients. Tumor stage was T1 in 13 patients, T2 in 3 patients, T3 in 3 patients and T4 in 4 patients. Among patients with T1 tumors, 5 underwent en bloc external EAC resection; 3 underwent local EAC resection; 1 underwent en bloc EAC resection and superficial parotidectomy; 1 underwent subtotal temporal bone resection for postoperative recurrence; Among patients with T4 tumors, 1 underwent extended temporal bone resection, right parotidectomy, right resection of middle cranial fossa tumors and right resection of temporomandibular joint capsule. 1 underwent subtotal temporal bone resection. Among these 15 patients who underwent surgery, 2 received postoperative radiotherapy, 1 received postoperative chemotherapy, 5 received postoperative chemo-radiotherapy, and 7 did not receive postoperative chemo-radiotherapy. The 3-and 5-year cumulative survival rates of the 23 patients were 47.8% and 17.4%, respectively. Survival may have been improved in patients who received postoperative chemo-radiotherapy and early diagnosis may be the key to improving survival.

“…These tumors are associated with a high risk of recurrence 1–5 and significant morbidities from surgical management 6 and adjuvant radiotherapy 7 . Because ACC of the EAC was first described in 1894, 8 numerous cases have been reported in the English‐language literature, 9–16 with some cases included in reports of ceruminoma, a term applied to all glandular neoplasms of the ear canal 11,17–21 …”

Ceruminous adenocarcinoma is a rare malignant neoplasm of the glandular structures of the external auditory canal. The true incidence and behavior of these rare tumors are still unclear due to confusing terminology, classification and histological definitions. Therefore, the ENT surgeon faces major difficulties in choosing the method of management – conservative or more radical surgery – with the addition or not of radiotherapy. We report a 57-year-old male patient with a recurrence of a previously excised (maybe partially) and irradiated ceruminous adenocarcinoma of the right external auditory canal. Aggressive surgery was considered as the treatment of choice. However, the patient refused this approach and, as a consequence, a conservative excision was performed but with histologically confirmed healthy margins. To our surprise, the patient showed an excellent response and he is disease free 3 years following the last operation. Although recurrences usually occur within months after inadequate management, some may happen even 7 years post treatment. Therefore, routine long-term follow-up was advised.
