Nadir görülen bir kulak lezyonu: Kondrodermatitis nodularis kronika helisis

Kondrodermatitis nodularis kronika helisis (KNKH) kulak kepçesinde görülen etyolojisi kesin olarak belirlenmemiş ağrılı, soliter lezyonla karakterize bir hastalıktır. Lezyonların tedavisinde medikal veya cerrahi birçok yöntem denense de patolojik inceleme ile malign deri tümörlerinden ayırıcı tanısının yapılma gerekliliği ve kesin tedavisi için cer rahi altın standarttır. Biz sık görülmeyen, tanı ve tedavisinde çelişkiler yaşanan bu hastalığa sahip üç olgu ve cerrahi tedavi sonuçlarını sunuyoruz .

A rarely seen auricle lesion: Chondrodermatitis nodularis chronica helicis

Chondrodermatitis nodularis chronica helicis (CNCH) is a disorder that presents as a painful, solitary nodule ofthe external ear where exact aetiology is still unknown. Management of CNCH can be with surgical or nonsurgicalmodalities. But the necessary pathologic evaluation to differantiate from any malignancy and defnitive treatmentchance makes surgical excision as a gold standard. We describe three rarely seen cases and their outcomes which were surgicalally treated.
