[A rare tumour of the auricle].
We report on a patient suffering from a mesenchymal tumour located at the antihelix. Histopathology of the tissue specimens derived from this lesion reported a myofibroblastic sarcoma, a rare tumour entity with a slight predominance of occurrence in the area of the head and neck. Grading of these tumours can be challenging since benign as well as malign phenotypes have been described. Therefore, beside complete resection of the lesion additional radiotherapy should be discussed individually.
