Cancers of the Ear

Cancers of the Ear:

Cancer of the Outer Ear Symptoms:

 Cancers of the ear usually occur on the skin of the outer ear. Cancers of the ear can develop inside the ear too, but these are very rare. There are different types of cancers (carcinomas and melanomas) that can affect the ear. Most ear cancers are squamous cell carcinoma on the outer ear, but basal cell carcinoma and malignant melanoma can also occur inside the ear.

This is generally caused by spending long periods of time in the sun. Treatment for people with small cancers of the skin of the ear includes surgery to remove the affected area. Often no further treatment is required, especially if the cancer is confined to the outer edge of the ear.
