“…Accessory auricles are more common in male patients and are unilateral in 90% of cases (10). This anomaly most frequently occurs on the face, but it can be found on other locations such as the lateral side of the neck (11,12), suprasternal region (13), middle ear (14), Eustachian tube (15), nasopharynx (16,17,18), oropharynx (19) and nasal vestibule (20).…”

“…AT is a more precise term as it develops from first branchial arch, whereas tragus is the only part of external ear which develops from branchial first arch. The AT is a relatively common benign congenital anomaly7 that was reported by Birkett for the first time in 1858 8. The exact prevalence of AT as an isolated physical finding is unknown but it has been estimated to be 1.7:10009 and is the most common form of all external ear abnormalities 10…”

“…AT is associated with Delleman syndrome, Goldenhar syndrome,8 Haberland syndrome and Townes-Brock syndrome 12. In Goldenhar syndrome (oculoauriculovertebral dysplasia), the occurrence of AT is a constant finding which is an autosomal recessive condition.…”

Accessory tragus (AT) also referred as preauricular tag is a rudimentary tag of ear tissue This paper presents two specific cases: one hereditary and another sporadic case of AT. A general clinical description of AT, its associated syndromes, embryology aetiopathogenesis and management is discussed. A dentist can play an important role in spotting the AT during their head and neck examination. The presence of this defect can be correlated to other congenital defects of first branchial arch. On recognising its occurrence, the dentist can refer to a specialist for thorough investigation management. A dentist can play a vital role in encouraging and counselling the parents for the correction of such defects as it improves the aesthetics of the face. Usually, children with these defects are often targets of teasing by peers.

Accessory tragus is a developmental defect involving malformation of part of the external ear. It is a moderately rare congenital condition reported in 1858 by Birkett for the first time. Histological features of accessory tragus include a thin layer of stratum corneum with a rugated epidermis, presence of eccrine glands, and irregular spatial positioning of vellus hair follicles accompanied by sebaceous glands. Accessory tragus is commonly a limited deformity; however, it can be a sign of associated congenital syndromes. It has been shown to be associated with Goldenhar syndrome, Townes-Brocks syndrome, Treacher-Collins syndrome, VACTERL syndrome, and Wolf-Hirschhron syndrome. Surgical excision, the most common form of management of accessory tragus lesions, typically leads to a positive outcome. An extensive search was performed using pubmed.gov, Embase, MedLine, and Googlescholar.com using key words: accessory tragus, congenital malformations of ear, first branchial arch, and embryology. In this paper, we review the clinical and histological presentation, associated syndromes, management, and outcome of accessory tragus.

A Case of Accessory Tragus on the Nasal Vestibule

Abstract: We present a case of accessory tragus (AT) which developed at an unusual site, the nasal vestibule, of a 1-day-old girl. To our knowledge, this is the first report of an accessory tragus that appears on the nasal vestibule. (Ann Dermatol 22(1) 61
