  • Title: Two-stage Ear Reconstruction with a Retroauricular Skin Flap after Excision of Trichilemmal Carcinoma.
    Author: Bhargava S, Feliciani C, Longo R, Dominici MM.
    Journal: J Cutan Aesthet Surg; 2020; 13(2):149-151. PubMed ID: 32792776.
    Abstract:
    Trichilemmal carcinoma is a rare cutaneous tumor with a frequently good prognosis but without standard criteria for surgical treatment. We aimed to show the results of a two-stage surgical approach that preserves the anatomical features of the ear. We report a case of 82-year-old man with trichilemmal carcinoma of the ear that was treated with a two-stage surgical approach. We observed that 5 months after the surgeries, the ear appeared entirely healed and there were no signs of recurrence; hence, our two-stage surgical approach allowed the anatomy of the ear to be preserved after the complete excision of the tumor.
