[Tumors of the ceruminous glands].

Abstract

Tumors of ceruminous glands, called "ceruminoma" are rare. They arise from the ceruminous glands of the external auditory canal. They realise a group of glandular tumors diversified in histologic pattern and prognosis. Three patients with ceruminous gland tumors are reported: one case of ceruminous adenoma, one case of adenocarcinoma and adenoid cystic carcinoma in the third one.
