Abstract
- Complete surgical removal of tumor is a main treatment strategy of auricular squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). However, the appropriate reconstruction of the defect should also be carefully planned because of an aesthetic importance of the auricle. A local flap has a better functional advantage than a free flap for minor defects and therefore it should be primarily considered if possible. With a review of literature, we propose a case of auricular SCC which was successfully treated by wide resection and reconstructed by local rotatory flap.
