Abstract

A review of the literature related to the specialty of Otolaryngology was conducted to update current concepts used in malignant external otitis in order to improve the quality of the scientific and care services provided by our center and to improve educational aspects in undergraduate and postgraduate teaching. The current trend in the literature reviewed is to use the term malignant external otitis instead of malignant external otitis in diabetics. In the formation of the present generation of doctors, it is needed to constantly renew knowledge, and in light of the changes and development of science, the specialty of Otolaryngology is not exempt. The general aspects of this condition, and the behavior and actions as a community physician, are described.
