Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 9
Abstract
Abstract:The objective is to report a rare case of Accessory Pinna with Accessory Tragus. We present a case of a 13 year old boy who presented with swelling in the left cheek and left pre-auricular region since childhood. We diagnosed the case to be Accessory Pinna with Accessory Tragus. Thorough evaluation was done to rule to presence of associated anomalies. The child was being ridiculed by his peers, hence surgical correction of the accessory pinna and accessory tragus was done. Keywords:Accessory Pinna, Accessory Tragus, Congenital Anomaly of Ear.
