Ectopic ossification refers to the process of new bone formation in sites that normally do not ossify. The auricle is composed of elastic cartilage, and hence is a pliable structure. Auricular ossification is a rare condition that might be caused by injurious processes, including frostbite, physical trauma, and inflammation as well as processes related to metabolic or endocrine disorders. Here, we report a case of unilateral auricular ossification in a 53-year-old Korean man who had previously rubbed his ear repeatedly with his hand.
异位骨化是指在正常情况下不会发生骨化的部位形成新骨的过程。耳廓由弹性软骨组成，因此是一个柔韧的结构。耳廓骨化是一种罕见的病症，可能由包括冻伤、物理创伤、炎症以及与代谢或内分泌紊乱相关的过程等损伤性因素引起。在此，我们报告一例53岁韩国男性单侧耳廓骨化的病例，该患者此前曾用手反复揉搓其耳部。
