Tas F, et al. - In the present study, the researchers sought to examine the clinical characteristics of auricular melanomas and compare them with periauricular skin melanomas. Data of 53 primary melanomas arising in auricular (n = 25) and periauricular regions (n = 28) have been retrospectively analyzed. Auricular and periauricular melanomas shared similar demographic, histopathological, and clinical characteristics. Similarly, the recurrence rates for both groups were discovered to be comparable (30%).
