ABSTRACT
We present a case of polyp of External Auditory Canal [E.A.C.] in 26 years old male, which turned out to be a ceruminoma on histopathological examination. It is a rare entity arising from the ceruminous glands present in the skin o f outer cartilagineous part o f E.A. C. The most extensive review of the topic lists only 32 cases over a period of 30 years worldwide. Meticulous local medical literature search revealed that this is most likely the first case ever-reported in Pakistan. The wide local excision of the growth was done after Examination Under Microscope [E. U.M.] and tissue sent for histopathological examination, which was reported as 'Ceruminoma'. Tympanic membrane was found intact on E. U.M under general anaesthesia
