Abstract:
Endochondral pseudocyst of the ear is considered to be a benign, asymptomatic condition seen infrequently in clinical practice. It is an intracartilaginous cyst devoid of epithelial lining and filled with a sterile, viscous, straw-colored fluid. It is important to remove the pseudocyst to prevent recurrence and good esthetic outcome. We experienced a case of a 59-years-old man with an endochondral pseudocyst of his right auricle. To our knowledge, this is the first report in Korea, so we report this case with a review of the literature.
