摘要

Nicorandil induced ulceration is a phenomenon that is becoming increasingly recognised in clinical practice. However, most cases of Nicorandil induced ulcers appear at the muco-cutaneous interface zones. We report a case of Pinna ulceration where Nicorandil appeared to be the chief aetiological factor. Having ruled out all reasonable alternatives Nicorandil treatment was discontinued and a rapid improvement in the ulcer was observed. To the best of our knowledge this is the first recorded case of external ear ulceration related to Nicorandil use.
