Acrobatic ears: a cause of petrified auricles

A A Lari et al. Br J Plast Surg. 1989 Nov.

Abstract

Calcified ear cartilages are rarely encountered and only 12 histologically proven cases have been documented. The case presented is of ossified auricles in a teenager and has many interesting features. Acrobatic manipulation of the auricles as a cause of the lesion was one of the distinguishing features.
