Calcification of intact ear pinna`s tissue as a consequence of surgical operation performed within nearby area.

Many manipulations and diagnostic procedures can lead to different and sometimes unexplained outcomes, like elongation of patient`s uvula after an esophagogastroduodenoscopy [1]. One of such examples could be calcification in different areas of our body without obvious reasons. Tissue calcification in most cases is considered to be pathological. This process can arise due to tissue trauma, surgical operations, chronic diseases (for ex. chronic pancreatitis), or due to some infections like tuberculosis. Most reasons, which could be the causes of calcification are well-known nowadays. For example, in case of mammary gland trauma, calcification of it`s tissue is expected outcome. This is also could be true in case of chronic pancreatitis, in which during saponification processes, the calcification remnants are stored in gland`s parenchyma. Nevertheless, predisposition of some parts and tissues of organism to this process had been observed, for example, in tissues rich in fat, like mammary gland or abdominal pad. Bacterial infection, for example, endocarditis can be complicated not only by septic embolism, but also by tissue calcification [2]. Also as examples: glands of inner and outer secretion, as also different types of tumors, for example Sertoli cell tumor [3]. However, in some cases no clear reasons can be established. The case of calcification of intact ear pinna`s tissue after an operation performed within nearby area is discussed in this article.
