Exostosis of the external auditory canal (also known as surfer's ear), is a benign bony overgrowth of the bony external auditory canal brought about by exposure to cold wind and water combined.
Radiographic features
- broad-based or more focal circumferential bony overgrowth of the osseous external auditory canal
- bilateral
Differential diagnosis
- external auditory canal osteoma: unilateral focal, pedunculated bony overgrowth
- external auditory canal cholesteatoma: typically unilateral bony flakes with scalloping of the adjacent bone
