Abstract

Piercing is a type of jewelry performed by piercing the skin, underlying fat layer or cartilage.As the use of body piercings became widespread, the number of complications caused by infections, injuries and jewelry has also increased.The aim of this case report was to reveal the clinical features and treatment of our patient who had a mass in the ear with a related piercing history. A 20-year-old female patient, applied to us with her complaints, which started with redness and swelling in the upper part of the right auricle, about 1 year ago, but then gradually grew. On physical examination, there was a painless mass, 0.7x0.5 cm in size in the upper helix of the right auricle, with a smooth surface, slightly darker than the skin, and a minimally eroded area attached to the piercing. The patient had a history of frequent change and use of piercings to the superior helix of the right auricle where the mass was found. An excisional biopsy was performed under local anesthesia. Pathological findings were reported as benign fibroepithelial polyps (FEP). According to our English literature research, no FEP manifested in the auricle and other parts of the body associated with piercing has been reported so far.

Özet

Piercing bir takı türü olup cildin, cilt altındaki yağ tabakasının ya da kıkırdağın delinmesi sonucunda gerçekleştirilir. Son yıllarda vücut piercingi yaygınlaşmıştır. Piercing kullanımı arttıkça enfeksiyon, yaralanma ve takılardan kaynaklanan komplikasyonların sayısı da artacaktır. Bu olgu sunumunun amacı, bölümümüze piercing sonrası kulakta kitle ile başvuran olgumuzun klinik özelliklerini ve tedavisini ortaya koymaktı. Olgumuz 20 yaşında kadın hasta yaklaşık 1 yıl önce başlayan sağ kulak kepçesi üst kısmında kızarıklık şişlik ile başlayan şikayetlerinin giderek artması ile tarafımıza başvurdu. Hastanın fizik muayenesinde sağ aurikula üst heliks kısmında 0.7x0.5 cm boyutlarında, yüzeyi düzgün, piercinge bağlı üzerinde minimal erode bir alan olan ağrısız kitle mevcuttu. Hastanın daha öncesinde sağ aurikulaya kitlenin bulunduğu aurikula süperior heliks bölgesine sık sık piercing değişim öyküsü mevcuttu. Sigara kullanım öyküsü yoktu. Sistemik herhangi bir hastalığı, kullandığı bir ilaç, eşlik eden bir alerjik hastalığı yoktu. Hastaya lokal anestezi altında eksizyonel biyopsi yapıldı. Patolojik bulgular benign fibroepitelyal polip (FEP) olarak rapor edildi. İngilizce literatür araştırmalarımız sonucunda bugüne kadar piercing ile ilişkili aurikulada ve vücudun diğer bölgelerinde kendini gösteren FEP bildirilmemiştir.
