An External Auditory Canal Lesion: Lobular Capillary Hemangioma

Hemangiomas are vascular tumors and they are common in the head and neck region, but substantially rarely seen in the ear. In this report, we present a female patient who suffered from an external auditory canal placed lesion. After the radiological evaluations, lesion was excised with clear margins. Postoperative histopathogical diagnosis was lobular capillary hemangioma. We discussed the preoperative surveys and operative assessment of this clinical entity.
