[Subcutaneous sinusoid cavernous hemangioma of the outer ear. Review of literature].
Hemangionas of the ear have been rarely described. A few cases have been reported in the world literature involving the middle ear space or tympanic membrane, and a few more involving the inner ear. Cavernous hemangioma often is associated with other hemangiomas, and there is almost always a cutaneous segment that facilitates the diagnosis. The authors report a rare case (to their knowledge, the first to be described) of a subcutaneous cavernous hemangioma of the auricular concha. The diagnosis and treatment are discussed and the literature is reviewed.
