Diagnostic Information
 
Final Diagnosis For Which Treatment Was Sought Including Patient's Actual Condition
Squamous cell carcinoma of the left ear canal.
Operation, Diagnostic, Or Treatment Procedure Rendered Causing The Injury
The patient first presented to Dr. Bosley in 2010 with a long history of ear problems dating back to childhood. Presentations and symptoms as an adult included intermittent discharge, mild pain and irritation of both ears. Extensive evaluations of ongoing acute symptoms were provided with treatment including negative imaging studies, medication, and intermittent removal of debris buildup via microscope from the ear canal. Patient would report feeling better with improvement of sensation and hearing. Neck examinations were negative for nodes, masses, or tenderness. High doses of narcotic analgesics were never requested or required at anytime under Dr. Bosley's care.The patient had been requested to return in two weeks but instead cancelled her appointment and did not return for more than a year.Upon return to Dr. Bosley's care in June of 2012, after more than a year's abscense, her symptoms of left ear external otitus where similar but with no improvement. The physician ordered CT imaging of the temporal bone and the results of the ear scan was normal except for external ear canal edema which was partially caused by Weck-Cel packing. Also there was no evidence of erosion or cancer of her mastoid bone or middle ear identified.Approximately three weeks after the CT scan, granulation tissue was noted for the first time and a surgical ENT consult was obtained. At which time, a very aggressive cancer was discovered in the ear canal.
