The paper reports on two young cats diagnosed with proliferative necrotizing otitis externa, a condition presenting with rapidly developing, crust-covered lesions affecting the ears and surrounding skin. Histopathological examination revealed severe epidermal hyperplasia, parakeratotic hyperkeratosis, and apoptotic keratinocytes. Both cats showed lesion regression following systemic and topical immunomodulatory treatments.
