[Auricular pseudocyst].
Pseudocyst of the auricle is a spontaneous intracartilaginous collection of serous fluid in the anterior aspect of the auricle. These cysts occur frequently in young healthy Chinese males. Engel (1966) was the first to report a series of pseudocysts of the auricle in Chinese. Its etiology is unknown, treatment is difficult and recurrence frequent. In the paper a case report is presented and a review of the literature of this rare condition is done.
