“…19 Rarely, a keloid may develop de novo without a previous noticeable injury to the skin. 8 It is a benign hyperproliferative growth of dense fibrous tissue and overabundant deposition of disorganized, thick, hyalinized collagen. 20 Clinically, a keloid appears as a skin-colored to pink, red, or brown, firm nodule that extends beyond the margins of the original wound.…”

“…7 Typically, an accessory tragus presents at birth as an asymptomatic, solitary, skin-colored, sessile or pedunculated, soft or firm nodule (Figures 1 and 2). 8,9 The nodule contains a bar of elastic cartilage. 4 The lesion is usually unilateral and located most commonly on or near the tragus (Figures 1 and 2) and, less commonly, in an area along a line from the tragus to the angle of the mouth (Figure 3) or along the anterior margin of the sternocleidomastoid muscle.…”

Cervical chondrocutaneous branchial remnants (CCBRs) are rare anomalies found in the neck. These remnants can be easily misdiagnosed due to their low incidence, and they are often associated with other anomalies. Previous studies have reported an association with other anomalies in up to 76% of cases. In this article, the authors present a case series of two patients with bilateral CCBRs and investigate the associated anomalies through a literature review. Patients diagnosed with CCBRs who presented with cervical masses were included. Records were reviewed to investigate factors such as sex, location of the CCBRs, associated anomalies, timing of operations, and cartilage pathology. A surgical excision technique was employed, and the study also included a literature review focusing on reports related to CCBRs and associated anomalies. Two patients, a 3-year-old boy and a 17-year-old adolescent girl, with bilateral CCBRs underwent surgical excision. Patient demographics, prevalence, and characteristics of associated anomalies in CCBR cases were documented in the literature review. This case series presented two successful surgical excisions of CCBRs without complications or recurrence at 1 year of follow-up. The study emphasized the importance of thorough evaluation and assessment for associated anomalies in various body systems due to the potential co-occurrence of CCBRs with other anomalies.

“…In general, periauricular accessory tragi are common, with a prevalence of approximately 5 per 10,000 births (Kohelet and Arbel, 2000; Deshpande and Watson, 2006). Rudimentary tragal cartilages can occasionally be found in the nasopharynx (Ahmed and Poole, 2004; Hendizadeh et al, 2013), middle ear (Chintalapati et al, 2010), and neck.…”
