ABSTRACT
A 47-year-old male visited the out-patient department of our otolaryngology clinic because of his intermittent right otalgia that had been going on for about 8 months. He denied any history of direct trauma and frostbite. Diffuse, non-tender thickening on the right auricle was identified on physical examination. Temporal bone CT scan demonstrated calcified cartilage of the right external ear. The lesion was surgically excised. Dystrophic calcification was identified after a histological examination. Auricular calcification is an uncommon disorder. Therefore we report a case of unilateral auricular calcification. (J Clinical Otolaryngol 2010;21:249-252)
