Definition
Ear tumors are traditionally divided into tumors of the outer ear, middle ear, and inner ear based on their location. Benign tumors of the ear are primarily represented by vestibular schwannomas, which affect mainly the internal auditory canal. Malignant tumors vary in frequency, ranging from the very common cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma of the auricle to rare tumors specific to the labyrinth. 1
