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.

D008545 Melanoma A malignant neoplasm derived from cells that are capable of forming melanin, which may occur in the skin of any part of the body, in the eye, or, rarely, in the mucous membranes of the genitalia, anus, oral cavity, or other sites. It occurs mostly in adults and may originate de novo or from a pigmented nevus or malignant lentigo. Melanomas frequently metastasize widely, and the regional lymph nodes, liver, lungs, and brain are likely to be involved. The incidence of malignant skin melanomas is rising rapidly in all parts of the world.
