Ceruminous adenoma

Ceruminous adenoma
Other namesAdenoma of the ceruminous gland and ceruminoma[1]

A ceruminous adenoma is a benign glandular neoplasm which arises from the ceruminous glands located within the external auditory canal. These glands are found within the outer one third to one half of the external auditory canal, more common along the posterior surface; therefore, the tumor develops within a very specific location.[2][3][4]
