When the location of the lesion is given as "preauricular", would you consider that part of the ear or part of the face/cheeks?
Thanks-Sue
 
Sue -

I would consider it part of the face/cheeks since "preauricular" means in front of the ear, and the external ear refers to the auricle/pinna and external auditory meatus.

Hope that helps!
