An 82-year-old man presented with a four month history of a painless, slow-growing mass over the left auricle. Physical examination revealed a well-defined, elastic, firm, peanut-sized mass without tenderness over the helix of his left auricle. The mass was excised and tissue pathology diagnosed a pleomorphic adenoma of the auricle. Pleomorphic adenomas are often derived from the major or minor salivary gland, with rare cases occurring externally on the ear. Most patients with pleomorphic adenomas affecting the external ear have the tumor located in the external auditory canal, indeed, only four cases of pleomorphic adenoma of the auricle have been reported in the literature to date. The patient typically presents with a painless slow-growing mass over the auricle and treatment usually comprises surgical excision. Owing to the likelihood of pleomorphic adenoma recurrence, surgical excision should encompass the tumor, the underlying perichondrium, and sometimes even the cartilage.
