Abstract
Trichoblastoma（TB） is a rare germ cell skin adnexal tumor of the hair, and it is a rare follicular tumor of the skin that differentiates from the hair germ epithelium and is often regarded as a benign skin tumorHowever, it is poorly confined and has a local infiltrative growth pattern. tb occurs in the head and neck region, especially in the face, and presents clinically as a slow growing, well-defined and elevated nodule. TB is routinely treated surgically. Due to the lack of universally accepted treatment guidelines or protocols, the recurrence rate after surgery is high, which makes clinical cure more difficult. In this study, a 65-year-old female patient was found to have a swelling with recurrent rupture and pus flow from the right external auditory canal opening and the auricular cavity. After initial misdiagnosis as otitis externa, she was treated with conventional anti-infective therapy, but her symptoms did not resolve and gradually worsened before coming to our hospital. The condition presented in this case is relativelyrare,therepre,timely and accurate diagnosis and treatment are crucial for prognosis improvement of such diseases.
