Abstract

We present a case (41 years old pregnant female) with epithelioid sarcoma arising in the left external auditory canal. On immunohistochemistry, the tumor cell diffusely expressed cytokeratins and showed patchy expression of ERG and CD34. The neoplastic cells demonstrated uniform loss of INI1-expression. Epithelioid sarcoma arising in the external auditory canal is rare. Awareness that ES may rarely arise at unusual sites is of critical importance in order to apply a broad enough panel in the immunohistochemical study, so a misdiagnosis of carcinoma can be avoided.
