Abstract

Helical rim defects of the auricle are usually the result of injury or tumor excision. Acquired helical rim defects are eye-catching and cosmetically unacceptable. We experienced a case of squamous cell carcinoma at the helical rim. The lesion was resected with clear margin and the defect was successfully reconstructed with a helical rim chondrocutaneous advancement flap.
