Abstract
Reconstruction of the upper third of the ear after excision of cutaneous carcinomas presents a challenge for the dermatologic surgeon due to anatomical peculiarities such as the grooves and depressions of the region. Although flaps are preferable to grafts due to their superior local cosmetic results, we present two cases of grafting with a donor area from the posterior auricular sulcus with good aesthetic outcomes, establishing itself as a viable alternative for defects located in the upper pole of the ear.
