pseudocyst of auricle

A pseudocyst of pinna is benign, painless, rare and asymptomatic swelling on the lateral or anterior surface of the pinna resulting from intracartilaginous accumulation of fluid. The condition auricular pseudocyst was first described by Engel (Arch Otolaryngol 83:197-202, 1966). Pseudocyst of in majority of cases presents as unilateral lesions, predominantly in 35-40 years mean age group and affecting predominantly males (Ramadass and Ayyaswamy in Indian J Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg 58:156-192, 2006). Commonly these cysts shows no symptoms but occasionally, there may be presence of minor discomfort and mild inflammatory signs...

The pseudocyst of the auricle is an intracartilaginous lesion defined as the accumulation of sterile, straw-coloured fluid in a cyst unlined by epithelium. It is more common in males. The most common site of lesion is the scaphoid fossa and right ear. Though the aetiology remains unclear, it may be associated with mechanical irritation, repeated minor injuries and chronic trauma. If left untreated, it can lead to permanent deformity of the auricle. Pseudocyst of the auricle is a rare and challenging condition...

PURPOSE: Auricular pseudocyst (AP) is a benign, noninflammatory swelling to the ear, located on either the front or side surface. Deroofing surgery with variable compression methods is considered the most effective method. However, post-operative wound pain is the main drawback following compression. We are introducing a novel painless surgical procedure which involves deroofing technique followed by Merocel® compression dressing. METHODS: From 2015 to 2020, thirty-one patients with AP received this new surgical compression method in our university-affiliated tertiary hospital...

Auricular pseudocysts (APs) are benign intercartilaginous cysts at the auricle. Various therapeutic options have been used to treat APs, but they frequently recur in usual clinical practice. Here, we report a case of AP successfully treated using a silicon cast. A 65-year-old male presented with a cyst on his right auricle. Although a local injection of steroid was administered, the cyst had recurred. A dental silicon cast was applied after removal of the contents of the cyst by suction. There was no recurrence of the cyst 6 years after that treatment...

OBJECTIVE: Pseudocyst of the auricle is a benign cystic lesions of the ear. A variety of methods have been proposed priorly with different treatment effects. Although aggressive treatments may have good results, we aimed to introduce a less invasive method that also yield optimal cosmetic outcome. PATIENTS AND METHODS: From August 2019 to April 2020, a total of 32 patients with pseudocyst of the auricle were treated with a novel negative pressure drainage method...

Pseudocyst of the auricle is a rare benign condition due to the accumulation of intracartilaginous fluid. Various treatment modalities are suggested in literature; the goal being the preservation of architecture of the pinna and prevention of recurrence. We report two cases: An 11-year-old boy treated conventionally with surgical management with the development of mild deformity and an 18-year old male treated with novel nonsurgical modality with the excellent cosmetic result. Here we emphasize the importance of such a simple routine procedure, which can be done on an OPD basis with a better cosmetic outcome...

INTRODUCTION: A pseudocyst is an uncommon, painless, benign cystic swelling on the lateral surface of the auricle with an unknown etiology. Various treatment modalities have been used with varying rates of success as this condition has high propensity for recurrence. We have used a minimally invasive treatment method for this condition to evaluate its efficacy in our setup. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This is a prospective study carried out in the department of ENT of Chitwan Medical College from May 2018 to April 2020...

BACKGROUND: Auricular pseudocyst is a benign cystic lesion in cartilages of the auricle. Different methods are currently used to manage this disease. In these methods, simple aspiration combined with pressure dressing, local steroid injection and surgery are the most prevalent therapies. OBJECTIVE: To find the best clinical path for the treatment of auricular pseudocyst. METHODS: Eighty-four subjects were randomly allocated into three equal groups (Group A: simple suction combined with pressure dressing; Group B: suction and local steroid injection; and, Group C: surgery)...

Introduction  Pseudocyst of the pinna is a rare condition that occurs when fluid accumulates in the intercartilagenous space of the auricle. The main goal when treating this condition is to keep acceptable cosmetic results with no recurrence rate. Objective  To demonstrate the superior impact of incision and drainage of auricular pseudocysts with the insertion of a catheter drain and daily irrigation as the treatment of this condition. Methods  A total of 42 patients with auricular pseudocysts were enrolled in the present study in the period between May 2011 and May 2017...

Pseudocyst of the auricle is a rare, idiopathic disease clinically manifesting as a painless edema of the upper-lateral parts of the auricle. Due to the rarity of the disease, auricular pseudocyst is often misdiagnosed. The confirmation of a diagnosis of auricular pseudocyst is most commonly made on the basis of clinical manifestations. The etiology of the disease remains unknown, and this frequently hinders both proper diagnosis and prevention. We report a case of a 4-week neonate admitted to the Department of Pediatrics, Rheumatology and Environmental Diseases of the Chair of Pediatry, Jagiellonian University, Medical College in Krakow with bilateral pseudocyst with very early presentation that was less prominent after birth and well presented in the second week of life...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: An auricular pseudocyst is not uncommon in routine ENT clinical practice, it occurs when fluid accumulates between the intracartilaginous spaces of the auricle. Many treatment modalities have been proposed such as incision and drainage of the cyst, simple needle aspiration, tight bandaging with dental rolls, however recurrence and cosmetic problems are still noted in some cases. The aim of this article was to discuss our experience of surgical treatment of intractable auricular pseudocysts with marsupialisation, deroofing and anterior cartilage leaflet removal along with compression suture therapy...

BACKGROUND: Pseudocyst of the auricle is a common benign disease. Many treatment modalities have been described for this benign condition ranging from simple aspiration to complex cutaneous surgeries involving skin de-roofing and debridement with diamond burr. the aim of treatment is to successfully resolve the seroma without damaging the underlying healthy cartilage, thus maintaining the normal contour of the auricle, and to prevent its recurrence. METHODS: In this study we describe incision and drainage of the pseudocyst with auricular splinting...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: Pseudocyst of the auricle is a benign, noninflammatory cystic disease that is more common in Asians than in Caucasians. When managed conservatively, the results are often unsatisfactory and recurrences are common. We aimed to introduce a novel modified surgical method that involves a deroofing technique followed by a sandwich compression suture using two rubber tourniquet sheets and an iodine-soaked cotton ball for the treatment of auricular pseudocysts and to ascertain its effectiveness...

BACKGROUND: Sodium tetradecyl sulfate (STS) is Food and Drug Administration approved for treatment of varicose veins, but numerous other off-label applications have been reported. OBJECTIVE: To describe the clinical uses of STS, as well as efficacy and adverse effects.

Endochondral pseudocyst of the auricle is a very rare, benign, non-inflammatory cystic lesion. It most commonly develops in the scaphoid or triangular fossa of the ear. In this case report, we present a 46-year-old man with a painless lesion on the scaphoid fossa of the right ear. We removed the hypertrophic perichondrium forming the anterior wall of the pseudocyst, curetted the ear cartilage, and dressed it with compression. No complications, such as infection, seroma, or hematoma, occurred during the postoperative period...

Epidermnoid cysts are henign, cutaneous cysts which commonly occur on face, neck and trunk. Retroauricular epidermoid cyst is rare reported which should be differentiated from auricle pseudocyst, lipoma, steatocystoma and fibroma. The hitopathological examination is a gold standard of diagnosis. Surgery of complete excision is the first choice of treatment methods.
