Tophus due to gout is rarely found in auricle. We report a patient who visited the emergency room due to an auric-ular mass lesion with severe pain. A 68-year-old male patient who suffered from gout complained of a right sideauricular mass. The mass was hard, tender, and had a irregular margin. The surgery was done at operation room,and it was diagnosed as auricular tophi. Although it’s not life-threatening disease, but it’s important because it canbe misdiagnosed as malignancy.
