The Journal of Dermatologic Surgery and Oncology
|January 1, 1987
Abstract:
Pseudocyst of the auricle is an uncommon, asymptomatic swelling of the ear, resulting from an accumulation of fluid within an unlined intracartilaginous cavity. Numerous therapeutic approaches have been employed in the past with variable success. In this paper we utilized a procedure comprising aspiration of the cystic structure followed by compression with bolstered sutures, with complete resolution of the lesion.
