Abstract

Four male patients with pseudocyst of the auricle were successfully treated with oral corticosteroids. This condition is an asymptomatic, non-inflammatory, cystic swelling, usually located in the scaphoid or triangular fossa of the anti-helix which if untreated, leads to deformity of the pinna. All successful methods of treatment described in the literature so far have been invasive. All four patients in the above series responded to oral steroid therapy alone.
