“…Metastatic disease in the EAC is exceedingly rare, and only 11 cases were described in the literature. The primary tumors were located in the kidneys in 3 cases, in the esophagus in 2 cases, and in the lung, breast, liver, colon, rectum, and prostate [ 1 11 ].…”

“…These metastases almost always occur in the advance stages of the disease process, but rarely EAC mass may be the first manifestation of the metastatic carcinoma [ 1 ]. Only 11 cases of metastatic tumors in the EAC have been reported in the literature [ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ]. However, radiologic imaging findings including high resolution computed tomography (HRCT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) were not presented comprehensively, and radiological differential diagnoses of the metastasis from primary neoplastic tumors and other benign conditions of the EAC were not discussed.…”

We present a case of metastasis of the external auditory canal (EAC) from a primary breast carcinoma in a 53-year-old female with a review of the literature. The patient had been diagnosed with a primary carcinoma 4 years previously. The metastasis had developed recently in her left EAC and presented as a bulky, fleshy, bleeding mass. The mass was causing hearing loss on the left due to complete obstruction in the left EAC. The mass was incompletely removed with a surgical operation and histopathologically metastasis was proven. Although there are few case reports in the literature of various cancers metastasizing to the EAC, metastasis in the EAC from the breast carcinoma is exceedingly rare and only one case has been reported in the literature so far.

“…In 3 cases the primary tumor was located in the kidneys, in 2 cases in the esophagus, and in 1 case each in the breast, liver, colon, rectum, and prostate. 8,[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] In our case, a metastatic bronchogenic adenocarcinoma was presenting as an EAC mass. The aural mass was the initial presenting symptom, leading to the proper diagnosis after a thorough clinical and radiologic examination.…”

• Two cases in the manner of the reported patient. • Two cases presenting as dramatic perforation and peritonitis after profuse anaesthetic-induced vomiting within 24 h of surgery for unrelated conditions. • Two cases of pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP). The mucinous tumours of the appendix have deceptive histology and controversial biology. Their progress to PMP may occur by asymptomatic leakage of the implanted material. 2 This is usually an indolent process, unlike the other mucus-producing peritoneal adenocarcinomas of stomach, bowel, pancreas and mesothelioma, which are part of a differential diagnosis. They can however rupture suddenly and present as an acute abdomen. Surgeons should be wary of large distended appendixes, and excise them without spillage, and preferably after computed tomography scan information, which may allow a tentative diagnosis and a planned open hemicolectomy. At emergency laparoscopy for perforation, the spilled mucus is iridescent, which suggests the diagnosis. The modern approach to the management of PMP is with detailed clinical, radiological and histopathological assessment. Cytoreductive surgery and heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy in specialist centers offer hope for advanced disease. 3
