ABSTRACT
A pseudocyst of the auricle is a benign idiopathic, uncommon condition, which typically presents as a unilateral painless swelling over the anterior aspect of the auricle. If left untreated, the permanent deformity of the pinna may occur. Many modalities of treatment have been reported but the definitive treatment still remains controversial because of the high recurrence rate. It seems predominantly only one sided with most of the bilateral lesions developing asynchronously, and only a few cases have reported on simultaneous involvement of both pinna. We experienced a case of a 23-years-old man with an endochondral pseudocyst of simultaneous involvement of his both auricles. This is the first report in Korea, so we report this case with a review of the literature.
