    Author: Yin JB.
    Journal: Zhonghua Zhong Liu Za Zhi; 1989 Jan; 11(1):71-3. PubMed ID: 2550202.
    Abstract:
    Seven patients with ceruminal gland tumors originating from the external auditory canal are reported. The review of literature of this tumor showed that ceruminal gland tumors are commonly considered to arise from ceruminal gland but also from heterotopia salivary gland in the external auditory canal as believed by others. The term "ceruminal adenoma or adenocarcinoma" is still used by many authors. Histologically, this tumor is divided into four subtypes: adenoma, pleomorphic adenoma, adenocarcinoma and adenoid cystic carcinoma. Different treatments should be given for this tumor according to their different benign or malignant degrees.
