Abstract:
We report a case of arteriovenous fistula involving the external ear in a 27- year-old male patient, who presented with pruritic erythematous scaly patch with multiple pulsating nodules on the thickened and hypertrophied left auricle.The blood flow, measured by laser Doppler velocimetry, was increased markedly on the affected site comparing with the other (710.33mV vs 8.4mV, 663.33mV vs 107. 33mV). We suggest that macrotia must be considered as the one of the clinical manifestations of cutaneous arteriovenous fistula.
