A Rare Case of Recurring Ossifying Fibroma of the External Auditory Canal

Abstract

Fibro-osseous lesions are a group of disorders that can arise from any part of the facial skeleton and include ossifying fibroma, fibrous dysplasia, giant cell lesions etc. Almost 70 percent of these lesions arise in the head and neck. The most common sites affected are maxilla and mandible. Occasionally, they have also been reported in orbitofrontal bone, paranasal sinuses, nasopharynx, and skull base. We report a rare case of recurring ossifying fibroma of the external auditory canal.
