Cases of dermoid cysts of the auricle are presumed to be quite rare. We report such a case and make references to 10 previously reported cases. It is important to treat a tumour in the auricular area at an early stage to prevent it from transforming into malignancy.
The authors devised the plantar rectangular flap to avoid extra skin defects on the dorsal side. Using this method, the authors can create a deep interdigital space without any exposure of skin grafts or whitish plantar skin flaps on the dorsal side. This method is not appropriate for syndactyly of the fingers but is an ideal method for syndactyly of the toes.
Key Clinical MessagePseudolymphomatous folliculitis (PLF) is a rare lesion. Sometimes, the clinical appearance is characterized by multiple large, firm violaceous nodules. In cases with multiple lesions, such biopsy should be performed on one lesion, and once PLF is determined, monitoring for the remained tumor is considered to be the best treatment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
