“…Although they usually present as slow enlarging, asymptomatic, subcutaneous masses; O’Connor et al [1] reported that nearly%25 could be symptomatic. Surgery consisting of total excision with clear margins is the treatment of choice in order to alleviate possible symptoms and minimize the risk of malignant transformation; recurrence is reported to be rare [2], [5].…”

Such techniques for coverage of the surgical defect following resection include primary closure, local rotational flap, or split thickness skin graft [11]. We chose to reconstruct the surgical defect with a cervicofacial advancement flap rotated through a pre-and retroauricular facelift incision, which yielded excellent cosmetic result and no postoperative facial nerve deficits.…”
