Abstract
Carcinomas of the auditory sebaceous glands usually arise as firm, subcutaneous nodules just below the ear canal. Occasionally, they may be apparent as papillary growths within the ear canal. Subcutaneous tumors tend to grow rapidly, ulcerate, and involve the entire side of the face and neck. On cut surface, they usually have a gritty texture. Local invasion into adjacent soft tissue or bone is not uncommon. Pulmonary or regional lymph node metastases may be present.
