Superficial cervical axial pattern pedicled flap for reconstruction of surgical defect in squamous cell carcinoma exeresis in a cat's pinna

Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) is a neoplasm that most frequently affects animals with light skin and fur, with access to the street and that are exposed to chronic UV radiation, which leads to chronic inflammatory lesions. It is characterized as a locally aggressive neoplasm, but there are few reports of distant metastasis. Reconstructive surgeries are extremely important, as they allow a significant injured area of skin to be removed, and at the same time, this site is covered by skin from other regions, obtaining primary and faster healing compared to secondary healing.
