Preauricular Sinus or Pit
Preauricular Sinus

Presentation

Materials and Methods: The present study was done on 32 patients of preauricular sinus who presented to the ENT Out Patient Department (OPD) in Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS), Ranchi from June 2015 to November 2016. [jmscr.igmpublication.org]

The various benign lesions of pinna presenting to OPD in our study were found to be keloid, pseudocyst of auricle, preauricular sinus or cyst, sebaceous cyst, hemangioma, dermoid and neurofibroma of pinna, which present with swelling of the pinna with [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

Workup

Workup With regard to laboratory studies, culture samples may be obtained during drainage procedures. Imaging is not indicated for routine preauricular cysts and sinuses. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Cost-effectiveness data to support this practice, however, is lacking, and routine renal ultrasonography has yet to become the standard of care in the workup of patients with isolated preauricular pits. [thehealthscience.com]

Prognosis

The aim of this article is to review the outcomes of preauricular sinus and to introduce our surgical technique and its prognosis. [e-acfs.org]

Outcome and Prognosis The prognosis is excellent if the tract, fissure, and/or cyst is completely removed. Cosmesis is dependent on surgical knowledge and the scar-forming attributes of the patient. [thehealthscience.com]

Prevention

Identification of the exact anatomical location of sinus tract is necessary because total excision of the lesions including those tracts is the only way to prevent recurrence. [synapse.koreamed.org]

Therefore, the routine removal of a small portion of perichondrium and/or auricular cartilage along with the sinus tract may yield a more thorough excision and help to prevent recurrence. [jamanetwork.com]

Neurosurgeons must be aware of this rare condition and must opt for complete excision to prevent infectious sequelae even if the preauricular sinus is asymptomatic. [journals.lww.com]

Surgery to remove the pit involves removal of the pit, the entire tract, a small amount of surrounding skin, and the underlying tissue to prevent recurrence of the pit. [entforchildren.net]
