Pyogenic granuloma is a benign lesion of the skin and mucosa commonly known to occur in the head and neck region. The current literature has not yet identified its occurrence within the conchal bowl, a condition that leads to obstruction of the external auditory meatus. We present the case of a 28-year-old man who presented with a history of 3-4 weeks of a rapidly enlarging pedunculated lesion within the conchal bowl of the right ear and conductive hearing loss. Initial management included excision under local anaesthesia. The histological report concluded that it was a pyogenic granuloma. Later, reoccurrence was treated with a more definitive excision under general anaesthesia. During follow-up, the operative site was seen to have healed by secondary intention without reoccurrence. Although a pyogenic granuloma within the conchal bowl is benign, early therapeutic excision is important for histological diagnosis as much as to relieve consequential secondary obstruction and conductive hearing loss.
