Abstract: A 36-year-old with refractory otorrhea, otalgia, and facial palsy had HRCT bony erosion. Microsoft Copilot flagged malignancy; biopsy confirmed T1N0M0 squamous cell carcinoma. Curative resection achieved clear margins. Cranial nerve involvement demands biopsy regardless of age; AI aids but cannot replace clinical judgment.
