Squamous cell carcinoma of the ear canal infiltrating the temporal bone: A case report.

We present the case of an adult female patient with a clinical history of osteoporosis, diagnosed with chronic otitis media of the left ear of years of evolution, accompanied by purulent secretion of the same ear that did not respond to multiple treatment regimens. The patient also presented with a headache of left temporal predominance refractory to conventional analgesia. Cranial CT scans showed an osteolytic lesion of the left temporal bone with dural invasion. After resection and biopsy of the lesion, moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma was confirmed.
