Abstract

Surfer's exostoses are more commonly seen in adults who frequently participate in aquatic activities with repeated exposed to cold water and wind. However, this entity has not been previously reported in the pediatric population. Most patients can be managed conservatively, particularly considering that surgical removal of external auditory canal exostosis can be challenging.
