Chondrodermatitis Nodularis Chronica Helicis et Antihelicis in a 63-Year-Old Man

چکیده
Chondrodermatitis nodularis helicis, also known as Chondrodermatitis Nodularis Chronicus Helicis (CNCH), Winkler’s nodule or Winkler’s disease, is a benign, inflammatory and degenerative condition that affects the skin and cartilage of the pinna, manifesting as a tender papule/nodule [1]. The condition is usually unilateral. Bilateral CNCH cases are uncommon and the lesions are usually symmetrical. We herewith report a 63-year-old man with a CNCH lesion on the right antihelix and another one on the left helix. The bilateral occurrence of CNCH lesions makes certain treatment options such as sleeping on the unaffected side infeasible.
