In recent years, high ear-piercing and wearing earrings in the cartilaginous region of the auricle have become popular. The frequent occurrence of subsequent complications also has been pointed out. The present case is of a 17-year-old girl with an auricular deformity caused by infections occurring after piercing in the scapha. The authors performed an auriculoplasty by excision of the deformed cartilage and autologous cartilage graft from the ipsilateral concha. At present, 1 year and 5 months after the operation, no sign of recontracture is noted, and the auricle remains in a gratifying shape.

Cases of microtia combined with pulmonary hypoplasia are occasionally in clinics, and its genetic etiology has so far proved inconclusive. Here, aiming to contribute to a better understanding of microtia-related comorbid respiratory anomalies, the authors provide a clinical and genetic description of a rare trio family of which the son suffers combined deformities of right microtia, left pulmonary hypoplasia, and dextrocardia using whole-genome sequence (WGS). A novel potential pathologic compound heterozygosity in the FREM1 gene was identified and validated by the trio and bioinformatics analysis.

Keloids are characterized by excessive growth of fibrous tissue resulting from abnormal wound-healing processes. They may lead to functional impairments, aesthetic deformities, pruritus, and a decreased quality of life. Various therapies, including intralesional corticosteroid injections, cryotherapy, laser therapy, surgical excision, and radiotherapy, have been used to manage keloids, but the recurrence rates remain high.

Arteriovenous malformation (AVM, arteriovenous dysplasia) is one of the variants of congenital vascular defects formed as a result of a defect in the development of the arterial and venous systems during ontogenesis with the formation of direct messages between vessels of different diameters. In this regard, high-speed shunting of blood from the arterial part of the vascular system to the venous through fistulas of various calibers occurs. This disease is characterized by a variety of clinical manifestations.

Objective: Bilateral cleft lip nose deformity often involves nasal alar retraction. The use of autogenous auricular cartilage for correction further aggravated nasal alar retraction caused by nasal lining defects after the operation. A novel graft was developed to address bilateral cleft lip nose deformity.

Objective: For full expansion of ear reconstruction, the stability of a cartilage framework is very important. However, most techniques for framework fabrication focus on three-dimensional structure and adequate projection. Few studies are available on improving the stability of the reconstructed framework.
