Abstract
Pseudocyst of the pinna is an uncommon condition of the auricle presenting as a painless swelling in young adult males. The epidemiological profile of this condition is similar in Chinese and non-Chinese (Indian) population. A hormonal influence modulating the inflammatory process explains the marked male predominance of this condition. Surgical deroofing followed by buttoning is the definitive treatment of this entity as it is associated with no recurrence and gives a cosmetically acceptable result.
