ABSTRACT

Introduction. The outer ear is exposed to the environment and trauma, and due to low vascularity makes it vulnerable to infections and diseases. The wide external location makes these diseases are easy to diagnose and treat.
Case report. A 14 years old female with an outer ear lesion that began a year ago after placing a gold piercing auricular (pinnus). The patient has a painless, sessile tumor in the upper region of helix. The patient had no history of keloid disease initially considered or fibroma. After removal of the tumor, previuos feeding vessels hemostasis, primary closure with local corticosteroid injection in the same place is perfomed. The tumor was sent to the pathologhy study and reported an external ear dermatofibroma.
Discussion. The placement of piercing for beautification is commonly observed in young people; however, the risks inherent in their placement as infection and scarring are rarely disclosed. The dermatofibroma, also known as benign fibrous histiocytoma is one of the most common skin lesions of soft tissue and occur in up to 3% of tissues sent to histopathology. In our patient only an asymptomatic, slow-growing lesion caused that the patient did not require treatment until it was so obvious that attracted attention and therefore sought for definitive treatment. The patient remains under surveillance in search of recurrence.
