Tumor arising from the ceruminous glands of the external ear canal (EAC) are very rare and can present a diagnostic dilemma because of their varied clinical and histologic manifestations. To our knowledge, this is the first report to present a case of ceruminoma in pediatric age. We discuss the origin of these tumors and the importance of wide excision and of the immunohistochemistry for the diagnosis.

Abstract
Tumor arising from the ceruminous glands of the external ear canal (EAC) are very rare and can present a diagnostic dilemma because of their varied clinical and histologic manifestations. To our knowledge, this is the first report to present a case of ceruminoma in pediatric age. We discuss the origin of these tumors and the importance of wide excision and of the immunohistochemistry for the diagnosis.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
