Abstract
Isolated osteomata of the external auditory canal are benign and often symptomless lesions, and are distinct from the much commoner exostose s. A case is reported in which an osteoma presented as a recurrent 'au ral polyp' due to a fibroepithelial polypoid reaction in the overlying skin. The polyp and the osteoma were excised surgically. We believe t his to be the first reported case to present in this manner.
