Abstract
Otophyma is a rare condition that can present as a stage of rosacea. Rhinophyma lesions can mask the existence of coexisting occult skin cancers, and many types of tumors can mimic a rhinophyma. Although several coexistent malignant tumors have been reported in patients with rhinophyma. However, in the literature there are no reports for otophyma coexisting with any malignant tumor. We report here a case of Squamous Cell Carcinoma(SCC) in a 65-year-old man who presented with a two-month-history of a painful, erythematous lesion on the auricle; dermatological examination suggested an otophyma, and an ENT consultation was requested. We considered the lesion mimicked an otophyma. Histopathological examination revealed an acantholytic SCC. He was treated with surgical excision.
