Basal cell carcinoma is the most common type of malignant cutaneous tumor. Chronic exposure to
sunlight is the main factor in its etiology. The main treatment goals in the management of BCC are
total removal of the lesion, preservation of healthy tissue, preservation of function and obtaining
aesthetically acceptable results. Posteroauricular/preauricular advancement flaps, biloble flaps, helical
rim advancement flaps and revolving door flaps are among the flaps used in ear reconstruction. In this
study, we present a case of the reconstruction of a full-thickness ear lobe defect with a postro-inferiorly
based flap. The patient did not develop any recurrence within the 3 years follow-up period.
