Abstract
Dermoid cysts of the auricle are extremely rare. A 13-year-old female patient was admitted to our clinic with the complaint of a
painful, slowly growing mass that had been present behind her right ear since birth. Ear examination revealed a soft, approximately
2x2 cm cystic mass on the posterior aspect of the right auricle. Histopathological examination of the excised mass was reported as
dermoid cyst. The patient, who had no problem after the operation, was called to the controls and discharged. We present this case
because dermoid cysts of the auricle are extremely rare and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of congenital masses
in children.
