A case of auricular malignant melanoma

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.
