After the failure of a composite graft in a patient with complete auricle amputation, we successfully reconstructed the severely gashed auricle using two-stage cartilage preservation surgery. We removed the skin of the amputee and buried the cartilage under the postauricular scalp. The end of the right ear was sutured to the postauricular scalp. A separation surgery was performed on the 14th day after the burying surgery. After removing the suture, the cartilage along with the postauricular scalp was carefully separated from the postauricular donor site under local anesthesia. Using two-stage cartilage preservation surgery, we successfully reconstructed the severely gashed auricle and achieved cosmetically and functionally satisfactory results.
3.Pyogenic Granuloma Arising from a Port-Wine Stain on the Scalp: A Case Report and Literature Review

Pyogenic granulomas (PGs), also known as lobular capillary hemangiomas, are common reactive lesions that are non-neoplastic in nature. While they typically present as isolated lesions, they can rarely develop from preexisting port-wine stains (PWSs). PWS-associated PGs may occur spontaneously but are often linked to pregnancy or prior treatments such as laser therapy, intense pulsed light therapy, or radiotherapy. Here, we report a rare case of a PG arising from a PWS on the parietal scalp of a 27-year-old man with no history of trauma or prior treatment for his PWS. Given the potential for secondary lesion development in PWS, regular monitoring is essential, particularly in patients with associated risk factors.

An auricular pseudocyst is an uncommon, benign cystic lesion that frequently occurs in the auricles of middle-aged male patients, characterized histologically by an intracartilaginous, non-epithelial-lined cystic space. This report presents two cases of auricular pseudocysts successfully treated using deroofing procedures, with excellent long-term outcomes observed at 6-month and 5-year follow-up, respectively. Although various treatment modalities may be employed for these lesions, surgical deroofing is considered a conventional and reliable option that provides low recurrence rates and superior aesthetic outcomes.

A 71-year-old female patient developed cellulitis-like lesions at the burns from moxibustion of the right calf. The lesion was unilateral, a single confluent lesion with swelling and tenderness. Oral antibiotic treatment was performed with a poor clinical response. The patient was hospitalized and received intravenous broad-spectrum antibiotics, but the lesion progressed without improvement. Considering the possibility of erythema nodosum, the prescription was changed to methylprednisolone, and the redness, warmth and swelling improved the day after. A skin biopsy revealed features suggestive of panniculitis
