“…Further support for this hypothesis comes from reports of PCA occurring secondary to repeated rubbing of the ears in patients with generalized intense pruritic conditions such as AD or lymphoma 2,4 . In fact, association of PCA with malignancy has only been reported previously in two men, who both had lymphoma with secondary generalized itching 4,5 . To our knowledge, the current patient is only the third reported case of PCA associated with malignancy and the first with an associated HCC.…”

The aims of the article were to study the clinical characteristic of patients with pseudocysts and to compare different common modalities of treatment and introduce the concept of observation in pseudocyst management. Twenty-eight patients were diagnosed with pseudocyst of the auricle between June 2009 and June 2011 in a medical college hospital. The patients were divided into four groups each of seven patients on the basis of primary treatment offered. Four primary treatments offered were simple aspiration, aspiration with intralesional steroid, incision and drainage with removal of anterior cartilage leaflet with buttoning, and lastly, simple observation and reassurance. All 28 patients were male with involvement of right side more than left and no one had bilateral involvement. Adults in the age group of 30-40 were commonly affected. Most of the patients had history of significant trauma by security forces. Most common site of involvement was scaphoid and triangular fossa. The best form of treatment with minimum recurrence was incision and drainage with removal of anterior cartilage leaflet with buttoning. Simple observation as a treatment option was found to be as good as intralesional steroids. Pseudocyst of the pinna is a benign condition of unknown etiology affecting the pinna, commonly encountered in middle-aged men. It is a rare condition and is hardly encountered in routine ENT practice. Bilateral diseases are uncommon. Most common site of occurrence is triangular and scaphoid fossa. Many modalities of treatment have been recommended in literature with varied recurrence and failure rates. The best treatment is surgical deroofing followed by buttoning with minimum recurrences. An option of simple observation for 2-3 months should be discussed with each patient and was found to be as good as intralesional steroids.

Introduction:Pseudocyst of pinna is an uncommon condition hardly encountered in routine ENT practice. The involvement is usually seen in scaphoid, triangular fossa, and antihelix. Medical treatment is ineffective. Various treatments are suggested in the literature. The aims of the paper were to study the clinical characteristic of patients with pseudocysts and to share our experience with surgical deroofing and buttoning as a definitive treatment.Materials and Methods:Twenty-six patients were diagnosed with pseudocyst of the auricle between April 2011 and 2013 in two medical college hospitals. Clinical characteristics were noted. All patients underwent incision and drainage with removal of anterior cartilage leaflet followed by buttoning for 12 days.Results and Observations:Out of 26 patients, only two were females. Involvement of left side was seen more than right one. None had bilateral involvement. Adults in the age group of 31-40 were commonly affected. Most common site of involvement was scaphoid and triangular fossa. The success rate with primary I and D and buttoning was 96%.Conclusions:Pseudocyst of the pinna is a benign condition of unknown etiology affecting the pinna, commonly encountered in middle-aged men. Many modalities of treatment have been recommended in the literature with varied recurrence and failure rates. The best form of treatment with minimum recurrence is incision and drainage with removal of anterior cartilage leaflet with buttoning.
