ABSTRACT
Preauricular cyst is a common congenital malformation and often asymptomatic but infection of the preauricular cysts can be presented with pain, inflammation, discharge and abscess formation. We report a case of infected preauricular cyst, presented along with mild pain on the right ear for a month, in an 8 year old girl. Surgical excision under general anesthesia was performed. Methylene blue dye is used to outline the sinus tract considering the fact that the chances of recurrence is less if the components of the sinus are excised completely.[1,2]
