Abstract

Background and objectives: Dermoid cysts are congenital anomalies that contain ectodermal elements such as teeth, bone, and nerves. The purpose of this study was to identify trends in the characteristics of dermoid cysts of the auricle and the demographics of the patient population they affect.

Methods: A PubMed and EMBASE search for English-language publications that included cases of dermoid cyst(s) of the auricle from database inception to October 2022 was performed.

Results: A total of 38 cases of dermoid cysts of the auricle were identified from 20 publications. The age, sex, and Fitzpatrick skin type of the patients, locations of the dermoid cysts, associated anomalies, treatment methods, and postoperative outcomes were examined. Patients' ages ranged from 0 to 63 years, with 27.6% (8/29) in the 0-17 age range. 56.8% (21/37) were reported as male. Dermoid cysts were frequently present on the postauricular surface (18/24, 75.0%) and on light skin (Fitzpatrick types I-III; 18/22, 81.8%). Unilateral dermoid cysts were more commonly reported on the right ear (17/22, 77.3%); only one patient had bilateral cysts. Associated anomalies included microtia, prominent ears, foot polysyndactyly, hemifacial microsomia, and cryptotia. All auricular dermoid cysts were managed with complete surgical excision, and no postoperative complications or recurrences were reported.

Conclusions: Dermoid cysts of the auricle are reported more frequently in individuals with lighter skin; however, this is likely due to reporting bias. Complete surgical excision can be used to treat patients successfully, with a very low risk of complications and no need for preoperative imaging.

耳廓皮样囊肿：文献综述

背景和目的：耳廓皮样囊肿是一种先天性畸形，内含牙齿、骨骼和神经等外胚层成分。本研究旨在确定耳廓类皮样囊肿的特征趋势及其影响的患者人群的人口统计学特征：方法：在PubMed和EMBASE数据库中检索从数据库建立到2022年10月期间收录耳廓蜕皮样囊肿病例的英文文献：结果：共从20篇文献中发现38例耳廓蝶形囊肿病例。对患者的年龄、性别、菲茨帕特里克皮肤类型、蝶窦囊肿的位置、相关异常、治疗方法和术后结果进行了研究。患者的年龄从 0 岁到 63 岁不等，其中 27.6%（8/29）的患者年龄在 0-17 岁之间。56.8%（21/37）的患者为男性。皮样囊肿经常出现在耳后表面（18/24，75.0%）和浅色皮肤（菲茨帕特里克I-III型；18/22，81.8%）。单侧蝶形囊肿多见于右耳（17/22，77.3%），只有一名患者为双侧囊肿。相关异常包括小耳畸形、耳朵突出、足多趾畸形、半面孔小畸形和隐睾。所有耳廓类皮样囊肿均通过手术完全切除，无术后并发症或复发报告：结论：耳廓类皮样囊肿多见于皮肤较白的人，但这可能是由于报告偏差所致。完全手术切除可成功治疗患者，并发症风险极低，且无需术前造影。
