No false positives were identified. All 19 ears without masses were correctly identified as true negatives, resulting in perfect agreement for mass detection (kappa\u2009=\u20091.000). On histopathology, 9\/13 masses were diagnosed as polyps, 1\/13 masses was diagnosed as carcinoma, 2\/13 did not undergo histopathology and 1\/13 masses seen on video-otoscopy was diagnosed as otitis externa with granulomatous tissue formation. Of the 16 cats examined, 12 had a mass in the external ear canal diagnosed by video-otoscopy: six domestic shorthairs, five Maine Coons and one Oriental Shorthair cat. Of these cats, 11 had a unilateral mass and one had a bilateral mass. There was very low agreement between CT and video-otoscopy for ear canal wall enhancement and erythema (kappa\u2009=\u20090.033), as well as for ear canal thickening and stenosis (weighted kappa\u2009=\u20090.056). There was no significant difference between chronic and non-chronic clinical signs in terms of the presence of ear canal wall mineralisation ( P\u2009=\u20090.223).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions and relevance<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>There is high agreement between video-otoscopy and CT in detecting external ear canal masses in cats. However, there is very low agreement between CT and video-otoscopy for ear canal wall enhancement, erythema, thickening and stenosis.
