“…1 In the head and neck, the myxoma lies mainly in the mandible, the maxillary bone, and the oral cavity. 3,4,6 Myxomas, as well as those tumors with mixed chondral elements (chondromyxoma, chondromyxoid fibroma), have also been observed within the temporal bone and middle ear. Isolated myxoma of the external auditory canal is extremely rare.…”

“…After a PubMed search, only 5 cases reported in English literature were found. [2][3][4][5] Myxomas develop equally in both sexes and most frequently in the 20 to 30 age range. 7 These tumors present as ovoid, soft, and sessile mass with smooth borders.…”

Myxoma is a benign myxoid tumor of connective tissue that develops primarily in the heart. At the level of the external auditory canal, it is extremely rare. It can be isolated or associated with Carney syndrome. Only 5 cases of isolated myxoma of the external auditory canal have been reported in the literature. We present the case of a 53-year-old patient who consulted for a hearing loss that has been evolving for 3 years. Otoscopy revealed a mass filling the external auditory canal. The scan showed a total filling of the external auditory canal with a homogenous sessile neoformation of 20 × 10 mm. This mass was completely resected and the histological examination showed spindle-shaped and star-shaped cells against an abundant myxoid background, which was consistent with myxoma. All the tests, done to eliminate Carney syndrome, did not reveal any abnormalities. The postoperative course was favorable, and no complications were noted. The patient was under follow-up. There was no recurrence 1 year after surgery.

“…Myxomas of the temporal bone may have local destructive properties causing otorrhea, hearing loss, headache and facial palsy depending on the site of involvement (1,3,7). Surgery is considered as the first choice of treatment, because the myxomas are not radiosensitive (4,8).…”

“…It can also arise from the head and neck region especially from the mandible and maxilla (2). Although very rarely encountered, myxomas can be seen in different parts of the temporal bone and other parts of the head and neck region (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8).…”

Myxoma is a benign connective tissue tumor that arises mostly from the heart. Temporal bone myxomas are extremely rare and these patients should be evaluated for the Carney complex association. Herein, our aim was to present a middle ear myxoma case operated with an initial diagnosis of chronic otitis media (COM) and to underline the fact that myxomas should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of aural polyps.

Myxoma is a benign mesenchymal neoplasm found in the heart, bone, and other soft tissues. However, myxoma of the external auditory canal is extremely rare. Since myxoma of the external auditory canal can be manifested as a part of the Carney complex, an autosomal dominant multiple familial neoplastic disorder, correct diagnosis and thorough investigation is important. We report a case of a 59-year-old man who presented to hospital with a complaint of growing mass within the right external auditory canal during one month. The surgical excision was done, and the histopathological examination revealed myxoma. In this article, we report the magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography findings of the myxoma of the external auditory canal and correlate with the histopathological finding.
