This is a report of a patient with ceruminous adenocarcinoma (cylindroma) arising from the external auditory canal who developed pulmonary metastases. Cylindromatous adenocarcinoma of the head and neck region is an uncommon tumor but may give rise to distant metastases. Routine roentgenograms of the chest should be done in all suspected cylindromas of the head and neck, and follow‐up x‐rays should be made biannually thereafter.
