Carcinoma of the external auditory canal (EAC) is known to be very rare with a rate of 1-6 per million people. It affects mostly people over the age of 50 regardless of gender. The most common type of carcinoma of EAC is squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The aim of this paper is to present the case of a 56-year-old woman with carcinoma of EAC. She was admitted to otolaryngology clinic due to ear buzzing lasting for five months, periodic otorrhea and hearing deterioration in her right ear. In otoscopic examination a tumor in the right ear meatus was identified. It filled almost the entire canal. Biopsy confirmed the presence of squamous-cell cancer. Tumor advancement was diagnosed using computer tomography of the temporal bones, magnetic resonance imaging of the head and ultrasonography of the neck. Imaging examinations indicated T3 N0 stage. Doctors decided to perform lateral petrosectomy with elective neck dissection. During the operation, the results of histopathological examination of frozen specimens from marginal tissues revealed an invasion of the anterior wall of the ear canal, capsule of temporomandibular joint and parotid gland. The resection eventually included also parotid gland and temporo-mandibular joint with the caput of the mandible. After recuperation, the patient had complementary radiotherapy. The presented case shows that precise imaging is necessary before surgical treatment, but unfortunately the invasion of cancer may not be estimated properly. Based on literature, the best prognosis concerns wide resection with complementary radiotherapy, although the schedule of treatment is not determined.

Introduction: Certain problems in ear surgery are caused by temporal bone cholestetoma and chronic otitis media complicated by deafness, facial nerve dysfunction, vertigo or meningcephalocele. Lateral petrosectomy offers possibility of radical treatment and prevention of temporal bone destruction and following complications. Aim of study: It is an analysis of indications for lateral petrosectomy and it's results as a treatment of otitis media and temporal bone cholesteatoma. The possibility of synchronous cochlear implantation is noted. Material: Retrospective analysis of 62 patients after lateral petrosectomy, operated in the Department of Otolaryngology at the Medical University of Warsaw in 2001-2009. The group consisted of thirty one men and thirty one women. Results: Thirty two patients suffered from chronic granuloma or chronic choleateatoma otitis media or temporal bone cholesteatoma. Seventeen patients suffered from deafness prior surgery. Cochlear implantation was possible in fi ve patients: two of them after cranium fracture, two with deafness caused by chronic otitis media and one with deafness caused by osteoradionecrosis. Intraoperative CSF leak was observed of eight patients. In one case lateral perosectomy was used as a treatment of CSF leak after removal of cerebellopontine tumor. There was no evidence of CSF leak after surgery. Facial nerve dysfunction was observed in fi fteen cases. Conclusions: Lateral petrosectomy offers possibility of radical treatment in same patients with chronic otorrhea. The total removal of cholesteatoma prevents intracranial and intratemporal complications in case of chronic otitis media. Patients after lateral petrosectomy require systematic ENT and radiological (CT, NMR) examination.
