External Auditory Canal tumors are rare entities that may have variable clinical presentation. Tumors affecting the External auditory Canal may be of primary etiology or may present as extension of tumors from adjacent structures. In this study, we are presented with a case of a 73 year-old, Male, who came in due to decreased hearing on the right ear. The patient had a 4-year history of gradually enlarging mass occupying the right external auditory canal which was revealed to be Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma. The clinical presentation, which was similar to the more common benign inflammatory disorders of external ear, led to a delay in diagnosis. Furthermore, with the rarity of the disease, the decision for surgical management was complicated as there are no available treatment guidelines. Eventually, a Wide en bloc resection of the External Auditory Canal Mass and Superficial Parotidectomy with Facial Nerve Preservation was done. Close follow-up 7 months hence has shown no signs or symptoms or recurrence. <br><br>Keywords : Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma, External Auditory Canal Tumor
