Abstract: Primary adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the external auditory canal (EAC) is extremely rare in literature and accounts to 5% of malignancies of EAC. Characterized by recurrances and distant spread, its management requires adequate wide surgical resection with or without post op radiotherapy. Therefore we present a rare case of recurrant ACC of EAC which was managed by surgical excision followed by post op radiotherapy.
