Abstract
Squamous cell carcinoma of the pinna occurs primarily in older males who are exposed to sunlight for a prolonged period. Most squamous cell carcinomas of the pinna are well differentiated and present as a painless mass or a sessile nodule. We describe an interesting case of an adult woman with a non-healing wound located on the right pinna which was treated conservatively, and was later diagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma.
