Abstract
Basal cell carcinoma is the most common type of malignant cutaneous tumor. Chronic exposure to sunlight is the main factor in its etiology. The main treatment goals in the management of BCC are total removal of the lesion, preservation of healthy tissue, preservation of function and obtaining aesthetically acceptable results. Posteroauricular/preauricular advancement flaps, biloble flaps, helical rim advancement flaps and revolving door flaps are among the flaps used in ear reconstruction. In this study, we present a case of the reconstruction of a full-thickness ear lobe defect with a postro-inferiorly based flap. The patient did not develop any recurrence within the 3 years follow-up period. .
