Recurrent Auricular Pseudocyst: Successful Treatment Using a Dental Silicon Cast
Keyword(s):
Auricular pseudocysts (APs) are benign intercartilaginous cysts at the auricle. Various therapeutic options have been used to treat APs, but they frequently recur in usual clinical practice. Here, we report a case of AP successfully treated using a silicon cast. A 65-year-old male presented with a cyst on his right auricle. Although a local injection of steroid was administered, the cyst had recurred. A dental silicon cast was applied after removal of the contents of the cyst by suction. There was no recurrence of the cyst 6 years after that treatment. Dental silicon casts are a novel technique for an appropriate fixation over auricles in the treatment of APs and had an effective therapeutic result in our case.
