title: An unusual presentation of bilateral prominent ears.
abstract: Patients with bilateral prominent ears commonly present for surgical correction. The cause of this condition is probably multifactorial and, whilst there is certainly a strong familial component, pathological causes are few. We present a case of bilateral postauricular dermoid cysts giving rise to this condition.
