A 53-year-old female presented with a painful swelling within her external auditory meatus. Biopsies revealed this to be a B-cell lymphoma and she underwent surgical treatment followed by chemotherapy. This is the first reported case of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma of the external auditory meatus in an human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-negative patient.
