Any lesion can present as a mass in the external auditory canal. Aural polyps are proliferation of the granulation tissue due to long standing inflammatory process with associated otalgia and otorrhea.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Objectives\u2003To document the clinicoradiological presentations, intraoperative findings, and histopathological diagnosis of aural polyp, correlating them.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Methods In our study 81 patients underwent treatment for aural polyps in the department of Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) from April 1997 to April 2022. Results were tabulated, a simple descriptive analysis was done using the Statistical Package Social Sciences software, and the results obtained were represented as percentages and presented in tables.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results\u2003The majority (38) of the patients presenting with aural polyps were diagnosed with mucosal and squamous type of CSOM, and 22 with simple granulation polyps. There were also 5 patients with malignant otitis externa, 3 patients had glomus tumors, 2 patients with retained foreign bodies, and 3 patients with brain herniation. We also identified aberrant internal carotid artery, high jugular bulb, one patient had facial nerve neuroma, one patient had polyp from the tragus diagnosed with tuberculosis, one patient with keratosis obturans, and one with exostosis.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion\u2003A thorough detailed examination and mastoid exploration with radiological and histopathological evaluation is mandatory for better defining the definitive treatment. Utmost care and meticulousness are advised for the surgeons while dealing with aural polyps to avoid any complications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0043-1777418","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,12]],"date-time":"2024-04-12T23:18:36Z","timestamp":1712963916000},"page":"e368-e373","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["A
