Abstract

<p> Introduction: Accessory auricles are common congenital anomalies recognized as skin protrusions located from the side of the mouth to the preauricular area.<br> Methods: The medical records of patients who visited our center with accessory auricles were retrospectively reviewed using records from 2003 to 2021. We compared age at initial visit, sex, laterality, number, location, shape, comorbidities, and treatment.<br> Results: We included 584 patients with accessory auricles. The average age at initial visit was 9.4 months, and the total number of accessory auricles was 984. The most common location, shape, and treatment were middle preauricular area (66.7%), papule shape (32.0%), and surgery under general anesthesia (41.4%), respectively. A coexisting symptom occurred in 24.5% of the patients.<br> Discussion: Our findings suggest that the accessory auricles were derived from the first pharyngeal arch. Patients who have accessory auricles in the buccal area have more accessory auricles and coexisting symptoms. Accessory auricles located in the cervical region seem to have a different origin from those around the auricular and buccal areas.</p>
