Résumé
Fibroepithelial polyps are rare benign lesions with uncertain origins. They are commonly found in the skin and genitourinary system. Fibroepithelial polyps in the external auditory canal are infrequent. We report a 60-year-old Persian woman with an incidentally discovered painless fibroepithelial polyp in the right external auditory canal. Microscopic transcanal surgery confirmed the diagnosis after temporal computed tomography imaging showed a soft tissue mass. Fibroepithelial polyps have an uncertain etiology and are typically asymptomatic. Surgical resection is the preferred treatment, and the prognosis following resection is generally favorable, with low recurrence rates. This case highlights the rarity of fibroepithelial polyps in the external auditory canal and underscores the importance of considering them in the differential diagnosis of external auditory canal lesions.
