On physical examination, there was a painless mass, 0.7x0.5 cm in size in the upper helix of the right auricle, with a smooth surface, slightly darker than the skin, and a minimally eroded area attached to the piercing. The patient had a history of frequent change and use of piercings to the superior helix of the right auricle where the mass was found. An excisional biopsy was performed under local anesthesia. Pathological findings were reported as benign fibroepithelial polyps (FEP).
