Abstract
Auricular pseudocysts are a benign condition characterized by the asymptomatic, usually unilateral swelling of the helix or antihelix. The condition is often difficult to treat because recurrences and subsequent auricular deformities are common. We successfully treated a patient with an auricular pseudocyst of the left ear using needle aspiration followed by application of a surgical bolster. In this article, we discuss the features of auricular pseudocysts and propose a simple, first-line approach to the management of this disease.
