The external ear is a crucial part of the ear's anatomy for both functional and aesthetic purposes. We present a defect after the extirpation of an invasive squamous cell carcinoma, where the final defect involved the superior third of the outer ear, missing both cartilage and skin. The regional chondrocutaneous composite transposition flap of the ipsilateral auricular concha is a one-stage technique that successfully preserves the helical rim's shape and size.

Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is a chronic disorder of unknown etiology characterized by recurring ulcers involving the oral mucosa in patients with no other manifestations. It is a common cause of oral ulcers in children. In its major form, RAS can be a severe and disabling disorder due to pain and scarring, and poses a therapeutic challenge. Therapies for major RAS include prednisone, thalidomide, colchicine, and dapsone. However, many patients do not achieve adequate control of the disease with them (J Clin Diagn Res, 10, 2016 and ZE08). We report a case of severe RAS in a teenager with a dramatic response to adalimumab.
