Abstract

Endochondral pseudocyst of the ear is a rare, benign, non-inflammatory cystic disease. It is known that there are a variety of treatment methods for pseudocyst, which is mainly common in the scaphoid or triangular fossa of the ear. Pseudocyst formation is prevalent in the residual cavity of the ear. So, to prevent a recurrence, a surgical approach is also required, but management through compression is necessary after surgery. Applying a cube magnet to the lesion to press provides patient convenience and facilitates continuous management.
