Pseudocyst of the auricle (benign idiopathic cystic chondromalacia) is rare. Only 20 cases have been previously reported in the literature. Our study retrospectively reviews 21 additional cases. We conclude that idiopathic cystic chondromalacia can occur in both sexes, in all races, and at any age. The differential diagnoses for idiopathic cystic chondromalacia are relapsing polychondritis and chondrodermatitis nodularis chronica helicis. Recurrence of idiopathic cystic chondromalacia is uncommon following adequate local treatment.
耳廓假性囊肿（良性特发性囊性软骨软化症）较为罕见。此前文献中仅报道过20例。我们的研究回顾性分析了另外21例病例。我们得出结论，特发性囊性软骨软化症可发生于任何性别、种族和年龄。特发性囊性软骨软化症的鉴别诊断包括复发性多软骨炎和慢性结节性耳轮软骨皮炎。经过充分的局部治疗后，特发性囊性软骨软化症复发并不常见。
