    Abstract:
    UNLABELLED: 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. A good cosmetic result was ultimately obtained. The patient experienced no recurrence within a 14-month follow-up period. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE V: This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
