ABSTRACT
The incidence of intradermal nevus in the externalauditory canal is uncommon. We herein are describing acase of 60-year-old lady who presented with foreign bodysensation in the right external ear canal (EAC) with milddiscomfort and ear bleed during ear picking. Otoscopicexamination revealed hyperpigmented mass on the floorof the outer two third of EAC. Complete excisional biopsyof the mass resulted in histopathology findings ofintradermal nevus. Despite the fact that the disease is notalarming, the possibilities of benign melanocytic nevitransformation into malignant lesions such as melanomaneed to be ruled out.
