  • Title: [Extensive recurrent basalioma of the pinna with infiltration of the temporal bone--radical surgical removal of the tumor and primary defect repair (a case report)].

    Journal: Laryngol Rhinol Otol (Stuttg); 1987 Jun; 66(6):344-7. PubMed ID: 3626720.
    Abstract:
    Report on a woman patient, 69 years of age, suffering from a recurrent extensive basalioma of the external ear that was considered inoperable, as the tumour had invaded the petrous bone, the parotid gland, the mandibular joint, and the adjacent nerves. Because of unbearable pain it was decided to perform a radical operation with resection of the tumour, the petrous bone, the parotid gland, the ascending mandibular branch, the facial nerve, and part of the oral mucous membrane. The exposed large cervical vessels, dura mater, and the bony skull--of which the periosteum had to be removed--were primarily covered with a large pectoral muscle island flap and an occipital advanced flap. Twenty-four months after surgery the patient had no relapse and was free from pain.
