Abstract
En 中文
External auditory canal squamous cell carcinoma (EACSCC) is rare, affecting 1.6 in a million individuals. We report a case of EACSCC in a 66-year-old woman carrying a heterozygous BRCA2 germline pathogenic variant (GPV) (c.8537_8538del), with prior history of breast cancer. Tumor copy-number analysis showed loss of heterozygosity at the BRCA2 locus. Genomic scar analysis supported homologous recombination repair deficiency (HRD), with mutational signatures showing the predominance of APOBEC activity and lower contributions of HRD-associated single base (SBS3, SBS8) and INDEL (ID6) signatures. A somatic TP53 pathogenic variant was also identified. These findings suggest a contributory role for BRCA2 in EACSCC development.
