Superficial Cyst or Mass and Sinus on and Around the Ear
Conditions
Brief summary
Superficial lesions on and around the ear are uncommon with many differential diagnoses and different characteristic histopathologic features. The purpose of this study was to describe a series of peri-auricular superficial lesions and characterize the distinctive types of these lesions.
Detailed description
Data included in this descriptive retrospective study were collected from records of 70 patients with superficial lesions around the auricle, i.e., periauricular (preauricular, auricular, and postauricular) during the period extending between 2017 and 2019, who were primarily diagnosed and operated. Data were retrieved, reviewed, and analyzed. The primary analysis outcome measures were patient history (age, gender, complaint, medical advice clinic, and associated medical diseases), lesions examination (site, laterality, clinical presentation, and the number of lesions). Also, the needed investigations for diagnosis, type of intervention, postoperative patient satisfaction were evaluated. Evaluation of the patients' follow up was done.
