[Preliminary considerations on changes in pigmentation, structure and vascularization of the outer ear in relation to chronic organic or functional disease]

Romoli M, Vettori F.

With this preliminary note the Authors propose a study of morphological changes and discolorations of the skin of the auricle in correlation with a chronic pathology. They present an extensive report of 13 patients with a long-standing symptomatology between 3 and 20 years. Time factor and the laterality problems are discussed.
