Abstract
Traumatic neuroma is the reparative proliferation of axons and Schwann cells at the proximal end of a severed nerve following injury or surgery. Traumatic neuromas with or without clinical symptoms have rarely been reported in the external auditory canal. A 50-year-old woman with a history of trauma visited our otorhinolaryngology clinic with a 7 × 5-mm mass localized on the anterior wall of the external auditory canal. The mass was easily removed via surgical excision and was histopathologically diagnosed as a neuroma. No signs of recurrence were observed after excision. Herein, the authors present this case, along with a review of the literature.
