A rare case of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the external auditory canal with magnetic resonance imaging appearances is reported. Both T1 weighted and T2 weighted MR images showed the tumour as a hypointense mass, although there was marked contrast enhancement. Microscopic examination of the resected tumour showed a preponderance of solid tumour cell nests. According to previous reports, these pathological and radiological findings indicate a poor prognosis.
