The most frequent type is a carcinoid tumor; this is followed by mucoepidermoid carcinoma and adenoid cystic carcinoma.

Ceruminous mucoepidermoid carcinoma All of the tumors are infiltrative into the soft tissue, benign ceruminous glands, and/or bone.

It may be confused with a number of benign and malignant neoplasms, including Warthin tumour, mucoepidermoid carcinoma and sebaceous lymphadenocarcinoma.

Long standing dentigerous cyst, odontogenic keratocyst, and residual cyst may have neoplastic potential converting into the locally aggressive ameloblastoma, or the malignant squamous cell carcinoma and mucoepidermoid carcinoma.

Synonyms have included cylindroma, ceruminoma, ceruminous adenocarcinoma, not otherwise specified (NOS), ceruminous adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC), and ceruminous mucoepidermoid carcinoma.
