Althrough auricle is an organ of hearing mechanism, it is playing on important role on one’s appearance.
Auricles are easily vulnerable to trauma because they are positioned on both estreme lateral aspect of face. Repeated severe trauma and stimulus on auricle bring on auricular petrification and eventually marked auricular deformity.
These auricular deformities caused by petrified auricle have three kinds of characteristic; ectopic ossification, ectopic calcification, exostoses of exter nal auditory canal.
Among them, petrified auricle by ectopic ossification has a stony hard consistency and is clinically a rare disease.
