Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma can occur on any surface of the skin, including the head, neck, trunk, limbs, and oral mucosa, the diagnosis of which is mainly made upon histopathology. A 72-year-old patient suffering with progressive enlargement and pain in his left external ear for more than 5 years presented in the outpatient department. A dermatological examination revealed that his left external ear had been dilated by an area of about 4 x 3cm. Diagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma through histologic examination, he received surgical resection without recurrence.
