Skin Cancer Treatment: Ear

Since the skin of the ear is extremely thin, when skin cancer involves the external ear it is not uncommon that the deeper cartilage can be involved. Reconstruction of the defects of the ear, therefor, must take into consideration, reconstruction of both the skin and the cartilage. The limited supply of the skin makes the reconstruction further challenging.
