Abstract

Chondrodermatitis nodularis helicis is a rare and well defined clinical condition, characterized by the appearance of painful nodule or nodules located on the helix. Affects mainly white men, aged 50 and more. The pathogenesis of the disease is unclear. The used treatments gives excellent results, but the disease tends to relapse. We present a clinical case of a young man of 38 years of age with a painful nodule located on the left ear.
