“…Further there was history of ear pricking in the past and histopathologic findings of haemangioma. Hence it was concluded that it was a case of acquired lesion which was a haemangioma in accordance with findings of Song K et al 7 Such small lesions in accessible areas have to be dealt with simple excision only. Further the findings on histopathological examination confirms the age old principle that any excisional biopsy must be sent for histopathologic characterization.…”

“…The tumor etiology remains uncertain but may involve frequent ear-picking and changes in hormone levels. 7 Rachappa MM et al, have written in their study that haemangiomas occur in skin of 4-10% of Caucasian new born with 3-to 5-fold greater incidence in females and also admitted that differentiation between a capillary haemangioma and pyogenic granuloma is somewhat unclear at this time. 8 Mills SE et al, suggested that the scientifically accurate term for pyogenic granuloma is the lobular capillary haemangioma.…”

“…It is not found in literature that any of such lesions occurs at pinna. Most of the cases found in literature were in the external auditory canal and the etiology for such lesions was proposed by Song K et al 7 as due to repeated trauma by ear picking. Hence they are acquired lesions and not congenital ones which according to Haggstrom AN et al 10 appear within few days of life.…”

Haemangioma is a benign vascular soft tissue tumor which is compressible and nonpulsatile mass it may be non-blanching at times (as in the present case). Such benign vascular lesions frequently occur in the head and neck, approximately 80% are found in these areas. But they are very rare to be found on pinna. In our case, it was excised surgically on histolopathological examination only the diagnosis was made.

Hemangioma is a benign vascular soft tissue tumor. It is the most common soft tissue tumor in children and >60% of hemangiomas occur in the head and neck region. However, these tumors are rare in the external auditory canal (EAC). This case report describes a case of capillary hemangioma in the EAC in a woman 54 years of age. With the patient under local anesthesia in microscopic surgery, the mass was excised completely via a transcanal approach. If there is a cystic and pinkish mass in the EAC with symptoms of bleeding or pulsatile tinnitus, hemangioma should be considered. For symptomatic hemangioma, complete surgical excision is necessary and the prognosis is good after excision. Histopathologic confirmation is mandatory after excision.

“…Although the etiologies of pyogenic granuloma are unclear, the factors of female sex hormones, chronic irritation, and trauma may have a risk to its development. 1-3 Excisional surgery is suggested, but cryosurgery, laser surgery, and electrodissection are recommended to avoid scar formation and deformity. 1…”

Pyogenic Granuloma of the Auricle

A rapid growing pyogenic granuloma arising from a rare site of the auricle. Clinical Image A 34-year-old woman presented with a pedunculated, round, and congested lesion on her left auricle that had grown rapidly within 5 days. Three weeks before presentation, a nodule had ruptured over the same auricle. The wound started as a small lump on the concha of the auricle. The patient scratched the lesion; then the lesion bled and became smaller. However, the lesion recurred and progressively increased in size until it protruded from the auricle (Figure 1A). Based on these clinical manifestations, it was suggestive of a pyogenic granuloma. The lesion was excised completely under local anesthesia. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis (Figure 2). After excision, there was minimal scarring of the concha surface and no evidence of recurrence in the follow-up (Figure 1B). Although the etiologies of pyogenic granuloma are unclear, the factors of female sex hormones, chronic irritation, and trauma may have a risk to its development. 1-3 Excisional surgery is suggested, but cryosurgery, laser surgery, and electrodissection are recommended to avoid scar formation and deformity. 1
