Abstract

Seborrheic keratosis lesions are tumors that rarely occur in the external auditory canal. There are several histological variants, and one of them is the irritated seborrheic keratosis. This kind has been scarcely reported in the literature. We report a 62 years old man with this lesion that relapses after monopolar electrocautery, and finally is removed by skin flap dissection.
