Bilateral auriclar and external ear canal cartilage calcification.

Abstract

Calcification of auricular cartilage is a rare condition. This phenomenon might be associated with frostbite, local trauma, inflammation, or systemic diseases. Calcification that progresses to the external ear canal cartilage is even rarer. We present an extremely rare case of bilateral auricular and external ear canal cartilage calcification in a patient with acromegaly. Clinicians should be aware that auricular and external ear canal cartilage calcification can occur in a patient with acromegaly.
