Abstract: BACKGROUND: To summarize the therapeutic effect of aspiration combined with magnet compression in the treatment of auricular pseudocyst and to explore a simple and effective treatment regimen for auricular pseudocyst. METHODS: The clinical data of 45 patients with auricular pseudocysts treated in the outpatient department from March 2019 to May 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Treatment outcomes were categorized into cure, excellence, and invalid to evaluate the therapeutic effect. The visual analog scale (VAS) was used to assess patients' satisfaction with the treatment. RESULTS: After treatment with aspiration combined with magnet compression, 31 cases (68.9%) were cured, 8 cases (17.8%) demonstrated excellence, and 6 cases were invalid. The VAS score ranged from 2 to 8 points with a mean value of 7.3 points. CONCLUSIONS: The treatment that aspiration combined with magnet compression shows significant advantages. It can be considered as the first choice for patients with good local skin conditions during their initial visit, especially in primary hospitals lacking surgical facilities or where access to medical care is difficult.
