ISSN 0001-5555 Sir, Accessory tragus is a minor congenital malformation that may be confused with a skin tag (1, 2). We describe here a rare case of multiple accessory tragi of a neonate, located simultaneously in the bilateral preauricular area and on the lateral neck. These lesions were almost identical histologically, and because of the lack of cartilage, it was necessary to consider the relationship with hair follicle naevi.
