A single lesion on the front part of the ear is usually the initial sign of pseudocyst of the auricle. Pseudocysts of the auricle appear as flesh-colored, nontender, noninflammatory cystic lesions and progress gradually over a 4- to 12-week period. Their diameters range from 1 to 5 cm. Usually, the lesions start off soft and get firmer with time.
Cysts of the jaws are cysts—pathological epithelial-lined cavities filled with fluid or soft material—occurring on the bones of the jaws, the mandible and maxilla.Those are the bones with the highest prevalence of cysts in the human body, due to the abundant amount of epithelial remnants that can be left in the bones of the jaws.
However, the conservative enucleation is the treatment of choice for most odontogenic cysts. The removed cyst must be evaluated by pathologist to confirm the diagnosis , and to rule out other neoplastic lesions with similar clinical or radiographic features (e.g., cystic or solid ameloblastoma , central mucoepidermoid carcinoma ).

Each involves the external ear. The difference between them is that a cyst does not connect with the skin, but a sinus does. [ 3 ] Frequency of preauricular sinus differs depending the population: 0.1–0.9% in the US, 0.9% in the UK, and 4–10% in Asia and parts of Africa.
A pseudocyst is a cystic lesion that may appear as a cyst on scans, but lacks epithelial or endothelial cells. [4] An acute pancreatic pseudocyst is made of pancreatic fluids with a wall of fibrous tissue or granulation.

With current treatment techniques the recurrence rate is around 2-3% but can be as high as 50%. Recurrence can occur as early as 5 years and as late as 40 years after removal. [10] Recurrence is usually seen within 5 years of treatment. Early findings of recurrence can be easily treated with minor surgery and curretage. [10]
