Squamous papillomas (SPs) are common benign neoplastic lesions, usually affecting the skin, oral mucosa, upper aerodigestive tract and genital organs. However, SPs of the external auditory canal (EAC) are rarely reported in the English literature. In this report, we present a 19-year-old female with left EAC SP. The etiology, natural course, diagnosis and management of this disease are discussed, with a brief review of the literature.
