Abstract
Summary Hamartomas are non-neoplastic overgrowth of mature/differentiated tissue indigenous to the specific part of the body in which they develop. Most hamartomas are located in the liver, spleen, lungs, and pancreas. However, external auditory canal hamartoma is rare. We describe here an 18-year-old man who presented with aural fullness. Computed tomography revealed an equal low density mass without bony erosion, pathological examination showed that the mass was an osseous hamartoma. Although osseous hamartoma in the external auditory canal is extremely rare, it should be kept in mind during differential diagnosis.
