 Malignant external otitis is an invasive infection of the external auditory canal and affects elderly patients with diabetes mellitus. An 85-year-old male with diabetes mellitus was referred to our hospital with complaints of left ear pain and discharge. On examination,the inferior and posterior walls of the left external auditory canal were destroyed and cultures of aural drainage demonstrated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Malignant external otits was diagnosed,and the patient was treated with vancomycin. Because ear discharge could not be controlled despite the treatment,tympanoplasty with mastoidectomy was performed. His postoperative course was satisfactory and there was no sign of recurrence.
