[Pseudocysts of the auricle. Clinical and histological studies of 3 cases]. / Pseudo-kystes du pavillon auriculaire. Etude clinique et histologique de trois cas.

Three cases of pseudocyst of the auricle were studied. All three occurred in male, 38, 54, and 23 years old; all had a solitary nodule of the anthelix. Such pseudocyst have a characteristic localization and are not caused by trauma and have a serous, cystic content. The cystic formations develop from degeneration and liquefaction within the auricular cartilage. We believe that the name proposed by Engel "pseudocyst of the auricle" can be appropriated.
