Popis:	A case of neurofibroma in a 46-year-old female is reported. The patient complained of a painful tumor in the external auditory canal. The tumor was 10mm×10mm in size. She had pigmentation on her tongue and buccal mucosa, and had slight scoliosis. A biopsy of the tumor revealed a histopathological picture of neurofibroma with no malignancy. The tumor was almost completely resected by the biopsy. However, the tumor recurred twice within 6 months in other lesions of the same external auditory canal and were resected each time.Since then we have observed the patient, but no recurrence of the tumor has been seen.
