Macrotia is one of the rare congenital external ear deformities. This deformity occurs when the measurements of the ear exceeds the standard values. However, enlargement of the ear may occur secondary to other causes and have clinical implications similar to true macrotia. In this report, we present an adult who had previously unilateral, slight auricular asymmetry on his left ear. His left ear enlarged spontaneously within the last four years without genetic, dermatological and rheumatological pathologies. We recommend considering other possibilities in the differential diagnosis and making comprehensive research before surgical intervention to the deformity.
