Physical examination revealed a pedunculated mass 7.5 x 6 cm size with a 2-cm pedunculated base hanging from the posterior side of the right earlobe [Figure 1a]. The cyst contained a soft cheesy material [Figure 1b] with a characteristic 'cheesy' or 'foot odour' smell, and was sent to the anatomic pathology laboratory.
