Abstract:<p class="abstract">We describe a case of basal cell carcinoma of right pinna in a 54 year old man. The patient underwent wide local excision of the lesion with lateral temporal bone resection. The defect created was reconstructed using Pectoralis major myocutaneous flap on same side in collaboration with plastic and reconstructive surgeons. Review after 6 months does not reveal any signs of recurrence. </p>
“…However, BCCs are known to be locally aggressive, which can be terminal if intracranial invasion occurs 2. Bony canal involvement may require temporal bone resection, and extensive lesions may need pinna removal and reconstruction.…”
