Photo Quiz: Firm Nodule on the Ear

A 34-year-old man presented with a crusted papule on the left ear that had grown slowly over several years. He did not recall any trauma to the area. The lesion was painful, but the patient did not report bleeding or discharge. His medical history included cleft palate repair and gastroesophageal reflux.

On physical examination, a small (less than 1 cm) crusted papule was noted on the left antihelix (Figure 1). The lesion had an erythematous base and was tender to palpation.
