    A rare congenital anomaly, an accessory ear lobe on the soft palate, caused breathing and swallowing issues in a newborn. Surgical removal was successful, with normal development observed later.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Developmental Biology
    • Pediatric Surgery

    Background:

    • Congenital malformations can present with diverse and unexpected anatomical variations.
    • Accessory ear structures are typically external but can rarely occur internally.

    Observation:

    • A one-day-old infant presented with respiratory distress and dysphagia.
    • A pedunculated, tumor-like mass was identified in the oropharynx, originating from the left soft palate.
    • Histopathological examination confirmed the mass as a dystopic ear lobe.

    Findings:

    • Surgical excision of the accessory ear lobe using the sling technique was uncomplicated.
    • Post-operative follow-up at 1.75 years showed normal hearing and speech development.
    • The malformation is hypothesized to arise from embryological branchial arch remnants.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of thorough differential diagnosis for oropharyngeal masses in neonates.
    • Early surgical intervention can resolve functional deficits caused by such rare congenital anomalies.
    • Distinguishing these malformations from teratoid tumors is crucial for appropriate management and prognosis.
