Case Presentation: Choristoma is a benign developmental pathological growth characterized by excessive proliferation of mature tissue in ectopic sites. While it can manifest anywhere in the head and neck region, choristoma of the middle ear is more prevalent than the external and internal ear. Conclusion: This case underscores the significance of early diagnosis and intervention in managing external ear choristoma to prevent complications such as conductive hearing loss. The use of auricular prosthesis post-surgery shows promise in maintaining patency and minimizing the risk of relapse, emphasizing on the importance of long-term follow-up in such patients.  </div> Choristoma, Ear, External, Prosthesis Design 211 215 http://jrdms.dentaliau.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-1529-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Priyanka Balakrishnan priyabalu1907@gmail.com 100319475328460012783 100319475328460012783 Yes Department of Pedodontics, Chettinad Dental College and Research Institute, Kelambakkam, Chennai, India.
