Here we describe such a rare instance in a patient with malignant otitis externa. It is very important to diagnose this category of patients and treat them accordingly. The available data indicate the need for external drainage. We report a case with malignant otitis externa with temporomandibular involvement treated successfully with radical mastoidectomy and drainage of the joint through the external auditory canal and an external incision was avoided.

Methods and Material: The study was conducted in the Department of Otolaryngology & Head & Neck Surgery of a Postgraduate Medical Institute in South India. It comprised a retrospective chart review of patients with chronic suppurative otitis media between ages 10 and 58 years, who underwent myringoplasty during 2004-2010. Results: A total of 104 patients were included in the study of which 69 had unilateral disease and 35 had bilateral disease.The factors indicating good outcome were inctive stage of the disease, unilateral disease, male gender, middle age group, cellular mastoid and no evidence of focus of infection.

On investigation, the tissue fungal culture grew Conidiobolus coronatus, confirming the diagnosis as rhinoentomophthoromycosis. He was treated with a combination of oral fluconazole and oral potassium iodide for a total period of 5 months. His symptoms subsided completely. Serial CT scanning of paranasal sinuses showed the gradual resolution of the swelling, in response to the treatment. Early detection of the disease and combination therapy gave rapid and good results. This is the first case of its kind to be reported from Kerala, the southern state of India.
