“… 7 However, Job et al reported good results by treating 4 patients with oral corticosteroids. 8 Unfortunately, patients involved in both series were small and it would be difficult to interpret the significance of their findings.…”

“…The role of steroids in treatment is controversial. Medical management of pseudocysts using systemic steroids was successful in a study by Job 14 but unsuccessful in another by Glamb. 15 Intra-lesional injections of steroids has been reported by Hideaki 16 to have limited success, with most patients requiring more than one injection and having at least one recurrence.…”

Endochondral pseudocyst of the auricle is an uncommon condition that affects predominantly Chinese males, with many reports studying this condition in homogenous Chinese populations. There have been few large-scale reports describing the features of this disease among the other Asian groups. In one of the largest series described to date, we report the epidemiological features, clinico-pathologic characteristics, and success of surgical treatment in 40 patients of different Asian groups presenting with pseudocyst of the auricle. Results showed a Chinese predominance (90 per cent), followed by Malays (five per cent) and Eurasians (five per cent). All had unilateral presentations apart from one patient. Most (55 per cent) presented within two weeks of auricular swelling. Few (10 per cent) had a history of trauma. The pseudocysts predominantly affected the concha (61 per cent). Surgery comprised excision of the anterior wall followed by local pressure application. Only 2.5 per cent had recurrence after surgery. These findings confirm earlier understood features of this disease while revealing some notable variations.

“…[10] Incisional drainage or needle aspiration followed by compressive dressing is also one of the most commonly practised methods, but this is associated with a recurrence rate of about 38%. [11] Job and Raman [12] and Miyamoto et al, [13] successfully applied aspiration followed by intracystic injection of steroids to treat their patients. Recurrent auricular pseudocysts have also been eff ectively treated by several authors with aspiration and oral/ intralesional steroid administration.…”
