Abstract
Accessory ear is a fairly common congenital malformation of the external ear. However, cervical ear is uncommon. Surgical treatment is usually performed for cosmetic purposes. The important points for surgical treatment are optimal incision for the cartilage and excision without injuring important structures deep in the face and neck.
