Abstract

A case of bilateral progressive stenosis of both external auditory canals with resultant conductive hearing loss is presented. The stenosis revealed multifocal erosive and synechiant lichen planus. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of lichen planus involvement of the external ear.
