preauricular

Occasionally a preauricular sinus or a cyst can become infected.

"I can also feel enlarged preauricular lymph nodes," Laurie said.

Achieving a natural appearance following surgery in men can be more challenging due to their hair-bearing preauricular skin.

Congenital Preauricular fistula: A small pit in front of the ear.

Most preauricular sinuses are asymptomatic and remain untreated unless they become infected too often.

En route accessory auricles (also known as preauricular tags) may be left behind.

Common clinical manifestations include limbal dermoids, preauricular skin tags, and strabismus.

Preauricular pits/tags (small depressions/growths of skin on the outer ears)

Ear abnormalities are common, including small holes in the skin just in front of the ears (preauricular pits or sinuses).

Preauricular sinus (small holes usually visible from birth at the front of the ears where the pinna joins the head)

Preauricular sinuses and cysts result from developmental defects of the first and second branchial arches.

Lachiewicz-Sibley syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by preauricular pits and renal disease.

The gland is mainly drained into the preauricular or parotid lymph nodes which ultimately drain to the deep cervical chain.

If regional preauricular, submandibular, or cervical lymph node involvement is seen, subconjunctival extension of the primary tumor has occurred.

Pain and tenderness on palpation in the muscles of mastication, or of the joint itself (preauricular pain - pain felt just infront of the ear).

Type IV - facial lesions resembling aplasia cutis in a preauricular distribution along the line of fusion of the maxillary and mandibular prominences.

Unlike branchio-oto-renal (BOR) syndrome, Lachiewicz-Sibley syndrome is characterized by only preauricular pitting and renal disease.

Pain or tenderness of the temporomandibular joints, which may manifest as preauricular pain (infront of the ear), or pain referred to the ear (otalgia).

The usual sequence is: underarm (axillary) hair, perianal hair, upper lip hair, sideburn (preauricular) hair, periareolar hair, and the beard area.

Preauricular cysts are treated with surgery which, because of their close proximity to the facial nerve should be left to an experienced surgeon, such as an otolaryngologist - head and neck surgeon.

Derivative 22 syndrome, or der(22), is a rare disorder associated with multiple congenital anomalies, including profound mental retardation, preauricular skin tags or pits, and conotruncal heart defects.

The preauricular deep parotid lymph nodes (anterior auricular glands or preauricular glands), from one to three in number, lie immediately in front of the tragus.

Erythromelanosis follicularis faciei et colli is an erythematous pigmentary disease involving the follicles, characterized by a reddish-brown, sharply demarcated, symmetrical discoloration involving the preauricular and maxillary regions.

There may be several components or degress of development, ranging from an ear tag, preauricular appendage, preauricular tag, accessory tragus, to supernumerary ears or polyotia.
