Plexiform neurofibroma of external auditory canal - a rare entity

We present a case of plexiform neurofibroma of external auditory canal [EAC] in a 43 years old male. Neurofibroma of EAC presents in rare cases. It is a benign tumor arising from the connective tissue of the nerve sheath, now thought to arise from schwann cells rather than fibroblasts. This tumor causes a fusiform enlargement of a nerve. This rare case is reported in a 43 years old male, who presented with pain in the left ear, found to have a polypoidal mass in [L] external auditory canal. Histological examination of the excised specimen revealed the features suggestive of plexiform neurofibroma of external auditory canal
