Abstract

In our histological examination on 42 ears (auricles) which were taken from 18 fetus and three adults, the intracartilaginous fibrous tissue with blood vessels and lymphatics were found in 12 ears and interruption of the auricular cartilage in 22 ears. The intracartilaginous connective tissue with blood vessels and lymphatics were linked together with the connective tissue outside the auricular cartilage in other sections. These findings support the hypothesis of congenital embryonic dysplasia as the origin of the formation of pseudocyst of the auricle.
