Abstract
Schwannoma is a slow-growing benign tumor of neurogenic origin. The lesion is derived from the Schwann cells surrounding neural tissue. It can grow in almost all regions of the body. Schwannoma of the external auditory canal is a rare finding. Recently, we experienced schwannoma of the external auditory canal of a 29-year-old female who had surgical removal completely and verified histopathologically as schwannoma.
