Abstract

The current standard of care for cutaneous melanoma of the ear is surgical excision. This approach may result in unfavorable functional and cosmetic outcomes. We report here a case of recurrent melanoma of the ear that achieved complete response with talimogene laherparepvec treatment after the patient declined surgical resection.
