Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Medical Genetics

Background:

  • Bilateral accessory tragus is a rare congenital external ear malformation.
  • It is typically present from birth.

Observation:

  • A case of isolated, nonfamilial bilateral accessory tragus in a 43-year-old man is presented.
  • The condition involves firm, preauricular papules.

Findings:

  • The presented case is an isolated occurrence, meaning it did not run in the family.
  • Review of existing literature on accessory tragi is included.

Implications:

  • Congenital firm, preauricular papules should be recognized as accessory tragi.
  • This recognition aids in accurate diagnosis of external ear malformations.
