Abstract
Endochondral pseudocyst of the auricle is an uncommon, though distinct ive clinicopathological entity occurring mainly in young men. An addit ional case is reported and the differential diagnosis and pathogenesis discussed. It is suggested that lymphatic dilatation of normally pres ent tissue planes could be the most likely causative mechanism. Minor trauma to susceptible ears also seems to be a requirement for developm ent of this condition.
