Abstract

Auricular pseudocyst is a benign idiopathic disease, which typically presents as painless spontaneous swelling over the anterior part of the auricle. It has usually been diagnosed in young healthy male patients. Its aetiology remains unknown, but hypothetically congenital dysplasia or chronic low-grade trauma could be the main causes. We present two case reports and a discussion of the auricle pseudocysts, their origin and treatment options.
