Basal cell carcinoma is the most frequent skin tumor in the head and neck area, and chronic sun exposure is the most important risk factor. It usually manifests clinically with anodyne symptoms in the early stages, which contributes to its difficult late diagnosis. It is locally invasive, especially at the level of the pinna. It is the only case described in the external auditory canal not related to sun exposure; it presents clinical and therapeutic characteristics that make it peculiar.
