Although auricular calcification isoften asymptomatic and does not require treatment, it is a critical diagnosis since it may develop secondary to life-threateningendocrinopathies. A 33-year-old female patient was admitted to our clinic with increasing stiffening in both auricles for one year. Onphysical examination, bilateral tympanic membranes, external auditory canals, and auriculas had a natural appearance. Apart fromlobules, the bilateral auricle had lost its elasticity. Computed tomography of the temporal bones showed bilateral calcification ofauriculas and external auditory canals with normal soft-tissue density of the overlying subcutaneous tissues. In our study, a patientwho was followed up due to pituitary insufficiency, and she has complained about the progressive loss of elasticity in both auricleswas discussed.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArticle28362162310.5455/annalsmedres.2020.04.289465635
