Abstract:
Chondrodermatitis nodularis chronica helicis is a painful erythematous, often crusted, papule most commonly found on the helix of the ear of men over the age of 40 years. It is seen less commonly in women, in whom it is usually located on the antihelix. The lesions usually occur unilaterally, although bilateral involvement has been reported. We report an unusual case of chondrodermatitis nodularis chronica helicis in an 86-year-old woman, which presented with bilateral involvement of the concha of auricles.
