description Frank’ sign or diagonal earlobe crease (DELC) is a diagonal earlobe crease that extends backwards from the tragus at an angle of 45 degree across the lobule to the ear edge of the auricle. It has been described as a dermatological marker for coronary artery disease. Frank’s sign is a useful clinical sign for coronary artery disease.
