Abstract
Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) refers to a direct connection between an artery and vein without capillary involvement, predominantly occurring within the intracranial region. However, occurrences of extracranial AVMs, particularly in the external ear, are relatively rare. Recently, we encountered a case involving an AVM in the external ear. An 18-year-old female patient presented with pulsatile persisting for the past 48 months, along with a reddish, pulsatile mass on the left external ear. We successfully managed the AVM by completely excising it and covered it by a thick skin graft following preoperative selective embolization.
