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.
