Abstract
Objective

The purpose of this study was to clarify the impact of superficial parotidectomy and postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) for the surgical treatment of early stage squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in external auditory canal (EAC).

Materials and methods

Thirty-seven patients with T1 (n = 14) or T2 (n = 19) SCC in EAC treated between 2000 and 2016 at Kobe University Hospital were enrolled in this study. Thirty-three patients were operated with sleeve resection or lateral temporal bone resection.

Results

The 5-year overall survival and disease-specific survival rates were 95% and 100%, respectively. Surgical margin was positive in 4 patients, who were treated by PORT and have been alive without disease. Prophylactic superficial parotidectomy was simultaneously performed at the time of initial surgery in 15 patients, in whom no lymph node (LN) metastasis was observed. Among the other 22 patients, regional recurrence in parotid LN was observed in one patient, who was successfully salvaged by total parotidectomy. Potential parotid lymph node metastasis rates of T1 and T2 SCC in EAC was 0% (0/14) and 5% (1/19) respectively.

Conclusions

Complete resection without positive surgical margins is essential for the treatment of the patients with T1 and T2 ear cancers. Prophylactic superficial parotidectomy or neck dissection is not mandatory for T1 and T2 diseases, as long as precisely extent of disease is assessed preoperatively. PORT should be performed for the patients with positive surgical margins.

Levels of evidence: 4.
