| Summary: | A 13-year-old male presented to the Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT)
Department complaining of a “bump” on the upper part of his left
ear. The patient had noticed this prominence since childhood but
reported no associated pain or discomfort. His primary concern
was cosmetic, seeking reassurance and information about the
condition. On physical examination, a cartilaginous prominence
approximately 5 mm in diameter was noted on the posterosuperior
aspect of the helix of the left pinna [Table/Fig-1]. The overlying
skin was unremarkable, and there was no tenderness, erythema,
or discharge. The rest of the otoscopic examination was within
normal limits. |
