Abstract
- Compound nevus is considered to be a common benign cutaneous tumor which is composed of nevus cells containing melanin pigment. However, compound nevus which has junctional activity has been described as actual precursors of malignant melanoma. Recently we experienced a case of compound nevus of the auditory canal, causing ear canal obstruction, intermittent hearing impairment and otorrhea in a 34-year-old female patient. The compound nevus was treated with a wide excison and full thickness skin graft by endaural approach.
