title: A safe and reliable technique in the management of pseudocyst.
abstract: Pseudocyst is a benign asymptomatic swelling, which develops in the lateral and anterior aspect of the pinna-scaphoid and triangular fossa. Usually occurs due to defect in the auricular embryogenesis. The paper describes a simple and safe technique carried out in 27 cases. The cartilage is exposed by making a linear incision in the posterior aspect of the pinna and a rectangular piece of cartilage if excised. The wound is then closed with drain in-situ. The patients were monitored for a period of 2 months, during which no recurrence or alteration in shape was noted. Hence, this procedure can replace other modes of treatment.
