ABSTRACT
O carcinoma basocelular, também conhecido como epitelioma basocelular, é a neoplasia epitelial mais frequente em nosso meio, sendo mais comum em homens. Relata-se o caso de paciente do sexo feminino, de 75 anos, portadora de um carcinoma basocelular nas regiões da concha, anti-hélice e fossa triangular da orelha direita, que foi completamente excisado, com inclusão da cartilagem. A reparação do defeito foi feita por meio de retalho do tipo "porta de saloon", com bom resultado estético e funcional. O retalho auricular posterior é opção versátil para a reconstrução parcial do defeito da orelha.
Basal cell carcinoma, also known as basal cell epithelioma, is the most frequent epithelial neoplasm in the dermatological practice, being more common in men. The authors report the case of a 75-year-old female patient with a basal cell carcinoma in the concha, anti-helix and triangular fossa regions of the right ear. The lesion was completely excised, including the cartilage. The surgical defect was repaired by means of a "saloon door" flap, which yields good aesthetic and functional outcomes. The posterior auricular flap is a versatile option for partial reconstruction of defects in the ear.
