Abstract:
Accessory tragi are rare congenital malformations of the external ear. They are present from birth and appear as solitary or multiple papules located between the pretragal and sternoclavicular regions. Accessory tragi may be multiple but are almost always unilateral and rarely bilateral. We report two cases of bilateral accessory tragus and a typical case of unilat,eral accessory tragus manifesting as skin-colored papules on the preauricular area.
