  ABSTRACT: Otoplasty is very commonly used for the surgical correction of prominent ears. This procedure generally does not involve major complications. Pain and itching, hematoma and bleeding and infection are the most common complications generally observed in post otoplasty patients. We present a case of a 13 years old boy who showed abnormal swelling from the pre- to the post-auricular area throughout the temporal region one day after the surgery. This case is distinct as the swelling was without the involvement of active bleeding but hematoma like complication at the site of surgery. The investigations were undertaken and the probable cause for these unusual observations were most likely related to lymphatic malformation.
