Представя се рядък случай с малигнен меланом на външния слухов канал при 21-годишен пациент. След патохистологична верификация на заболяването се престъпи към хирургическо лечение, включващо широка ексцизия на тумора на 2 см в здраво, трепанация на подлежаща кост, профилактична селективна шийна дисекция от страната на процеса и следоперативна полихимиотерапия. Една година след лечението пациентът е без данни за рецидив и метастази.
