Abstract

Accessory tragus is an uncommon congenital anomaly of the external ear. The tragus derives from the first branchial arch. The accessory tragus can be found along the entire course of embryonic migration. Usually it appears as a small papules arising near the tragus, but rarely, along an imaginary line drawn back from the tragus to the angle of the mouth, or along the anterior edge of the sternocleidomastoid muscle and the sternoclavicular region. We experienced a case of accessory tragi on the suprasternal region in an 9 year-old-boy.

Key Words: Accessory tragus, Suprasternal region
