Conclusion and Results:
In conclusion, accessory tragi are rare findings and typically present near the external ear. In this report, we discuss the case of a 20-year-old female presenting with left-sided conductive hearing loss and an incidental finding of an accessory tragus within the oropharynx on CT imaging, which has been rarely reported and broadens the differential diagnosis for masses noted in this space.
