Abstract
Bilateral pseudocysts of the auricle have been described in a 20-year-old Puerto Rican female. No definite etiology has been established for this clinical entity at the present time. Biopsy of the anterior wall of the cyst from our patient showed histologic characteristics similar to those described by Engel.1 Combined technique using curettage, painting the inner surface of the cyst wall with 1% tincture of iodine and application of contour pressure dressings for several days resulted in uneventful healing in two weeks and restoration of the normal appearance of the auricles.
