Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) is a rare, slow-growing type of B-cell leukemia where abnormal B lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell) accumulate in the bone marrow, spleen, and peripheral blood. The cells are characterized by "hairy" projections when viewed under a microscope, hence the name.

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.
