Pseudocyst of the auricle, also known as auricular pseudocyst, endochondral pseudocyst, cystic chondromalacia, intracartilaginous auricular seroma cyst, and benign idiopathic cystic chondromalacia, [1] is a cutaneous condition characterized by a fluctuant, tense, noninflammatory swelling on the upper half of the ear, known as the auricle or pinna.
Preauricular sinuses and cysts result from developmental defects of the first and second pharyngeal arches. [10] This and other ear malformations are sometimes associated with renal anomalies. [ 11 ] In rare circumstances these pits may be seen in genetic conditions such as branchio-oto-renal syndrome ; however these conditions are always ...
Pseudocysts are like cysts, but lack epithelial or endothelial cells. Initial management consists of general supportive care. Symptoms and complications caused by pseudocysts require surgery. Computed tomography (CT) scans are used for initial imaging of cysts, and endoscopic ultrasounds are used in differentiating between cysts and pseudocysts.
A cauliflower ear deformity. Inflammation of the cartilage of the ear is a specific symptom of the disease and affects most people. [3] It is present in about 20% of persons with RP at presentation and in 90% at some point. [3] Both ears are often affected but the inflammation may alternate between either ear during a relapse.

A latent cyst is located away from the epiphyseal plate and is more likely to heal with treatment. [4] It is typically diagnosed in under 20 year olds. [1] Although unicameral bone cysts can form in any bone structure, it is predominantly found in the proximal humerus and proximal femur; additionally, it affects males twice as often as females ...
The dermis contains two vascular networks that run parallel to the skin surface—one superficial and one deep plexus—which are connected by vertical communicating vessels. [8] [11] The function of blood vessels within the dermis is fourfold: to supply nutrition, to regulate temperature, to modulate inflammation, and to participate in wound ...
Ear Infections: Bumps can sometimes be a sign of an ear infection, especially if accompanied by pain and fever. Folliculitis: Inflammation of the hair follicles can cause bumps that might be ...
Attacks of skin redness and burning sensation or pain in one or both external ears are the only common symptoms. [1] Pain is often most pronounced at the ear lobe, and sometimes radiates to the jawbone and cheek. [1] The pain is normally mild, but has occasionally been described as severe. [1]
