Seborrheic keratosis (SK) is a common, benign, cutaneous skin tumor of the elderly patients. It is commonly observed in the head, neck, trunk, and extremities except the palms and soles. Its occurrence in the auricle has been reported even more rarely than in external auditory canal. We experienced rare SK in the auricle that was completely removed and did not recur.
