Benign idiopathic cystic chondromalacia
Benign idiopathic cystic chondromalacia, also known as pseudocyst of the auricle, is a rare but intriguing condition which is frequently misdiagnosed by clinicians and pathologists. It is characterized by an asymptomatic swelling of the anterior surface of the auricle caused by an intracartilaginous accumulation of fluid. The aetiopathogenesis remains unclear. The distinctive histopathological features, coupled with an awareness of the condition, are crucial to establishing a definitive diagnosis and, in turn, instituting the appropriate treatment.

Abstract
Benign idiopathic cystic chondromalacia, also known as pseudocyst of the auricle, is a rare but intriguing condition which is frequently misdiagnosed by clinicians and pathologists. It is characterized by an asymptomatic swelling of the anterior surface of the auricle caused by an intracartilaginous accumulation of fluid. The aetiopathogenesis remains unclear. The distinctive histopathological features, coupled with an awareness of the condition, are crucial to establishing a definitive diagnosis and, in turn, instituting the appropriate treatment.
