Tumors of external auditory canal are rare and malignant neoplasms of external auditory canal are uncommon. We report two cases of carcinoma of external auditory canal. Primary carcinomas of the external auditory canal are rare, the incidence being approximately two cases per one million per year. Incidence in females is more than males (1). The cases are usually diagnosed late because of the absence of significant presenting complaints.
