ABSTRACT
Cervical accessory tragus is a rare congenital malformation presenting at birth as a firm nodule on the neck along the anterior edge of the sternocleidomastoid muscle. It has also been reported under different names, such as elastic cartilage choristoma of the neck, Meckel's cartilaginous remnant, cervical tab, cervical auricle, and wattle. Histologically, cervical accessory tragus is composed of numerous hair follicles, and a prominent connective tissue framework in the subcutaneous fat and central core of cartilage. We report a case of an 8-year-old female who presented with a solitary flesh colored papule on the posterior neck that was histopathologically diagnosed as cervical accessory tragus.
