the lesions start off soft and get firmer with time. They are filled with a viscous substance that resembles olive oil and is often straw-yellow in hue. Serous and serosanguinous fluid, however, might be present. The most common appearance of pseudocyst of the auricle is unilateral, usually on the right ear, while reports of bilateral presentations have also been made.

A single lesion on the front part of the ear is usually the initial sign of pseudocyst of the auricle. Pseudocysts of the auricle appear as flesh-colored, nontender, noninflammatory cystic lesions and progress gradually over a 4- to 12-week period. Their diameters range from 1 to 5 cm. Usually,

More invasive methods such as opening the cavity, draining it, and then obliterating it with curettage, sclerosing agent, and pressure dressing; open deroofing, which entails removing the anterior cartilaginous leaflet of the pseudocyst and realigning the skin flap overlying it, have also been

or pinna. Pseudocysts of the auricle are nontender, noninflammatory cystic lesions that progress over a 4- to 12-week period, ranging from 1 to 5 cm in diameter. They are usually unilateral, often on the right ear, but can also present bilaterally.
