title: Arteriovenous Hemangioma of the Ear Lobule.
abstract: Primary tumors arising from the ear lobule are uncommon, and hemangiomas in this region are extremely rare. The authors report a case of an arteriovenous hemangioma in the left ear lobule. The mass was reddish-colored, soft, mobile, nonpulsatile, and not tender on palpation. There was no recurrence 22 months after surgical excision.
