Abstract
Received November 1, 2010 Revised January 6, 2011 Accepted January 6, 2011 Address for correspondence Jin Woong Choi, MD Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Research Institute for Medical Sciences, Chungnam National UniversitySchool of Medicine, 282 Munhwa-ro, Jung-gu, Daejeon 301-721, Korea Tel +82-42-280-7698 Fax +82-42-253-4059 E-mail conc-will@hanmail.net Seborrheic keratosis (SK) is a common benign lesion that develops from the proliferation of epidermal cells. Since SK usually occurs on the face, extremities, and upper trunk of the elderly, the finding of this lesion on the auricle is rare. Given the rarity of SK lesions of the auricle and the lack of familiarity with its presentation, otolaryngologists have difficulty diagnosing SK. Authors experienced a case of solitary SK that originated from the auricle in a 65-year-old man. We present this case with a review of the literature.
