Accessory ear

The accessory ear is also called ear bud, commonly known as the small ear, which is caused by abnormal development of the first branchial arch, usually with different size and shape of neoplastic tissue on the line between the front of the tragus and the corner of the mouth. The surface of the skin is sometimes colored, and the accessory ear is completely redundant tissue, which has nothing to do with hearing and other functions. It is a waste organization that has no effect.
