Abstract:
Chondrodermatitisnodularishelicis is characterized by a sore nodule of the helix or antihelix of the ear. Pressure plays an important role in the pathogenesis of the benign inflammatory condition. Pressure relieving is a rational first-line treatment modality and could be applied in combination with or followed by intralesional steroid injections. If the condition remains, a surgical procedure is warranted. Cartilage removal without skin excision is the procedure of choice. Particular attention should be paid to the complete removal of all defective cartilage. This procedure is elegant and simple compared to the conventional wedge excision and has a lower risk of recurrence. Because of high recurrence rates of non-surgical treatments, early surgical treatment is recommended.
