We present the case of a 38-year-old man with an adenoid cystic carcinoma originating from the ceruminous glands of the external ear canal. The patient subsequently presented with a contralateral brain mass that was also diagnosed as adenoid cystic carcinoma. To our knowledge, contralateral metastasis to the brain of a patient with an adenoid cystic carcinoma of the ceruminous glands has not been reported previously. This rare neoplasm should be considered in the differential diagnosis of poorly differentiated carcinomas metastatic to the central nervous system in patients with occult malignant neoplasms.

D001932 Brain Neoplasms Neoplasms of the intracranial components of the central nervous system, including the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, hypothalamus, thalamus, brain stem, and cerebellum. Brain neoplasms are subdivided into primary (originating from brain tissue) and secondary (i.e., metastatic) forms. Primary neoplasms are subdivided into benign and malignant forms. In general, brain tumors may also be classified by age of onset, histologic type, or presenting location in the brain.

D003528 Carcinoma, Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma characterized by bands or cylinders of hyalinized or mucinous stroma separating or surrounded by nests or cords of small epithelial cells. When the cylinders occur within masses of epithelial cells, they give the tissue a perforated, sievelike, or cribriform appearance. Such tumors occur in the mammary glands, the mucous glands of the upper and lower respiratory tract, and the salivary glands. They are malignant but slow-growing, and tend to spread locally via the nerves.
