              Elastotic Nodules 

                       of  External Ear

 
 

                
Elastotic nodules of the ears are usually present on the antihelix of the ear.

These are sometimes located on the helix and simulate chondrodermatitis nodularis chronica helicis.

This distinctive entity occurs on the ears in response to chronic actinic damage.

Clinically, this lesion may be misdiagnosed as basal cell carcinoma or some infiltrative process such as gout or amyloid .

Elastotic nodules of the ears.Cutis.1989 Dec;44(6):452-4.

A case of bilateral elastotic nodules of the ears is reported. This distinctive entity occurs on the ears in response to chronic actinic damage and is seen infrequently. Elastotic nodules of the ears may therefore be misdiagnosed clinically as basal cell carcinoma or some infiltrative process such as gout or amyloid. Although the lesions are usually found on the anthelix, they may also arise on the helix, and can then simulate chondrodermatitis nodularis helicis.

Elastotic nodules of the ear. J Cutan Pathol.1981 Dec;8(6):429-33.

Eight cases of an elastotic degenerative lesion, developing on the ears in response to actinic damage are reported. Elastotic nodules may be diagnosed clinically as basal cell carcinoma, amyloid or even gout. Although usually found on the antihelix of the ear, they may arise on the helix and simulate chondrodermatitis nodularis helicis.
