Abstract
Amyloidosis of the external auditory canal is extremely rare. Only 12 cases, including the present case, have been reported, and this is the second reported case attributed to dialysis. This case involved a 56-year-old man who had been on dialysis for 12 years. A tumor was visible in the right external auditory canal and caused pain. The tumor was resected at another hospital, but subsequently recurred with rapid increase in size due to infection. We therefore performed further resection at our hospital. We report our experiences herein, together with a discussion of the literature.
