Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis
HLH is a disorder caused by widespread activation of macrophages and cytotoxic T cells. The macrophages begin to phagocyotse marrow elements which leads to peripheral pancytopenias and their resulting symptoms such as anemia, fever and bruising. It may be idiopathic or secondary to some infections or malignancies. Serum ferritin is quite elevated and bone marrow biopsy shows activated macrophages phagocytosing marrow cells. https://www.grepmed.com/images/11208/lymphohistiocytosis-summary-diagnosis-treatment-management

Ear tumors may be benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Types of noncancerous ear tumors include keloids, sebaceous cysts, osteomas and exostoses (bone growths). Noncancerous ear tumors usually require surgical removal.
Cancers that can affect your ears include melanoma, basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. Treatment for these conditions depends on several factors, including the type and stage of cancer, and whether or not it has spread to other parts of your body.
