Ear and Temporal Bone Cancer Squamous cell cancer grows deeper into the body and is more likely to spread. If the tumor grows into the temporal bone it can cause hearing loss, dizziness, and facial paralysis. The skin on the ear (pinna) is exposed to the sun. After years of exposure, basal cell skin cancer or squamous cell cancer can develop.

Acoustic Neuroma However, because acoustic neuroma is a rare condition, sudden hearing loss attributable to an acoustic tumor occurs in only 1 to 5% of patients with sudden hearing loss as there are many more common causes (Nosrati-Zarenoe et al 2010, Suzuki et al 2010).

Neuroma A neuroma /njuːˈroʊmə/ (plural: neuromata or neuromas) is a growth or tumor of nerve tissue. Neuromas tend to be benign (i.e. not cancerous); many nerve tumors, including those that are commonly malignant, are nowadays referred to by other terms. Acoustic neuroma-a slow-growing, benign tumor of the acoustic nerve. 2  Symptoms, which most often start after the age of 30, can include dizziness, headache, vertigo, loss of balance, ringing sensations, and numbness. 3  Ganglioneuroma-a tumor of the sympathetic nerve fibers arising from neural crest cells.
