Background:Squamous cell carcinoma of the skin is less common as compared with basal cell carcinoma. It is rarely noted in external ear as compared to other cutaneous sites. Due to locally infiltrative and aggressive nature, rapid spread to nearby structure and cervical lymph node region necessitate the need of excision of tumor along with radical neck dissection. Many types of reconstructive options are available but we choose the platysma myocutaneous flap for ear reconstruction in our case as it is a versatile, portable, and thin flap, less technique sensitive and can be obtained during neck dissection with a primary closure of the donor site with minimum postoperative complications.
