Abstract
Malignancy of ear & temporal bone are uncommon and unusual, but if occurs belongs to destructive variety. It can have both local as well as distant spread from external ear canal to inner ear passages. The spread can involve parotid gland to petrous apex. After a prompt radiological investigation, treatment is scheduled as per staging of the disease process. Early detection with treatment will have good prognosis while delayed recognition will have poor prognosis.
