Abstract

We performed auricular excision, total parathyroidecto- my, and extended radical neck dissection in a 36-year- old male patient who developed auricular malignant melanoma.Reconstruction of the surgical defect was made with a split-thickness skin graft. The patient received radiotherapy and chemotherapy after surgery.No evidence of local recurrences or distant metastasis was detected during a follow-up period of 14 months.

Abstract

Auriküler malign melanom tanısı konan 36 yaflında- ki erkek hastaya, aurikula eksizyonu, total parotidek- tomi ve geniflletilmifl radikal boyun diseksiyonu uy- gulandı ve cerrahi sonrasında oluflan defekt, kısmi kalınlıkta deri grefti ile onarıldı.
