Abstract
About 25%-30% of the primary malignant melanomas occur in the head and neck region and of these less than 10% arise on the external ear, mainly on helix and the lobule of the pinna. Melanoma thickness and nodal or distant metastases are advers factors for its prognosis. We report a case of a tumor that affected the right pinna and was removed by our ENT, department with good evolution, being the patient free of disease after 5 years follow-up.
