The Johnny Kling Spotted Monkey Ear

I look at a lot of ears, but cant say I have seen one case of Chondrodermatits Nodularis Chronica Helicus on the Antihelix bridging the scaphoid and triangular fossae.

Probably one of those obscure diagnosis from a boards exam question.

Frank, this certainly helps Jeff's case for rarity and for additional premium for the card. The photo of the ear just offered concerns me a bit. Looks like some seborrheic keratoses encroaching and I see nothing like this on the Kling portrait. Granted, we're probably looking at two difference issues, i.e. the Helicus and the keratoses. Still, the Kling would be breaking incredible ground if both issues could be seen on the ear and behind the ear.
all the best,

It is well know that you cannot make a silk purse out of a sow's ear, no matter how hard you kling to it, but

Assessing authenticity just became that much more difficult.

Good analysis. Yes.

Gonna guess S. Gross's picture is an SCC. Probably some guy who got lots of sun for decades and burned that ear. Needs Moh's.

I assume SCC means I just got it off the web, which I did.

Since this thread has lead us to elephants and rhinoceros, I figure I might add:

I have always gone with that the possessive of Gross is Gross', not Gross's. As the same with even Davis'. Also I find that the "x" ending French (Cajun) names, like Boudreaux or Giroux also do not use the 's.


Just one Gross' opinion

Sorry
Grammar never been my strong suit. Didn't mean to beat up your name. I stand corrected.

In my comment to Barry(who works in the field) that thing in the ear looks like an SCC(squamous cell carcinoma). Didn't mean to go this far(in this thread). I'll drop the subject. Boring to most i'm sure.

frank, you have wisely made a subtle turn to something that at least can be 'graded',viz. scc. great fun frank,frank,and Mr. G. .
Grammar, med. Greek, cards, and family fun are always top choices for a sunday afternoon IMHO. Now it is time to get ready for Monday.
all the best, friends,

Thank you Barry, Frank, Joe and Scott for taking an interest in the Spotted Monkey Kling Ear. I now feel complete and prepared for a good nights rest. There is not an ear in this world that can upset me now, I've seen and lived through the Kling ear, I am battle hardened. Of course there is the Striped Zebra Kruger Forehead, but that's for another Sunday....
