Article Title: Basal cell carcinoma following chronic otitis media
Abstract: Abstract: A 36‐year‐old white woman presented with a gradually enlarging lesion in the right preauricular area of 15 years duration. The patient had a 25‐year history of chronic otitis media of the right ear; in spite of multiple courses of systemic antibiotics, she frequently noted a slight discharge from the affected ear, draining across the right preauricular area, causing a mild pruritic eruption. She recalled having had approximately 30 roentgenographs of mastoids, but denied any history of fluoroscopic examination. The patient denied a history of excessive sun exposure or exposure to arsenic or other carcinogenic factors. There was no family history of skin cancer. Copyright © 1985, Wiley Blackwell.
