All dogs were of brachycephalic breeds, and French bulldogs were the most common breed. Most dogs had a history of chronic\u2010recurrent otitis externa (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200912) and a diagnosis of atopic dermatitis (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200910). Ear cytological results showed neutrophilic inflammation with bacteria in 14 of 17 cases. CT scan detected 15 of 17 aFEPs. In all cases, video\u2010otoscopy revealed the presence of a pedunculated neoformation of variable size. All lesions were removed during the endoscopic procedure with a polypectomy snare or grasping forceps. Histologically, all masses were characterised by a broad fibrous core with a narrow stalk covered by either keratinised or keratinised and ciliated epithelium. Thirteen polyps contained broad trabeculae of bone. In two dogs, a second endoscopic procedure was needed to completely remove residual polyp fragments. During the follow\u2010up period (1\u201380\u2009months), 13 of the 14 dogs experienced no relapses.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions and Clinical Relevance<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In dogs, aFEPs present distinctive histopathological characteristics and should be differentiated from other aural masses.
