Pseudocyst of Ear

ABSTRACT

Pseudocyst of the auricle is a rare, asymptomatic, cystic, swelling of the upper portion of the auricle. It results from spontaneous collection of an oily, serous fluid within an unlined intracartilaginous cavity1. The aetiology and pathogenesis of this condition is not known. Although various medical and surgical therapeutic approaches have been described, the treatment of pseudocyst of auricle is difficult and recurrences are frequent2.
