Bilateral ear canal eruptive skin tags in an otherwise healthy young lady: a case report

Abstract

<span>Cutaneous skin tags are common skin growths, usually harmless, </span><span>which protrude from the skin and may have a short, narrow stalk. </span><span>Typically, they are the same color as the skin or a little darker</span><br /><span>and appear mostly in the axilla, groin, and cervical area. In this </span><span>report, we present a 30-year-old female with pedunculated and </span><span>sessile papules in both of her ear canals with no history of any</span><br /><span>related illnesses and a negative family history. Histopathological </span><span>examination of the papules showed intra-auricular skin tags. </span><span>Most of the cases of skin tags near the ear canals are reported in</span><br /><span>patients with congenital disorders and malformations. Therefore, </span><span>to the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of </span><span>skin tags in both ear canals in an otherwise healthy adult.</span>
