Abstract
A 23-year-old male patient presented with a post auricular mass and an attico antral type of chronic suppurative otitis media. He underwent excision of the mass and canal wall down mastoidectomy. Histopathological diagnosis of malignant myoepithelioma was made.The patient refused treatment and later he died with systemic metastasis.This case is reported for the rarity of the site, young age of presentation and aggressive behaviour.
