Abstract

The cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma is a malignant epithelial neoplasm of high incidence among felines of clear skin, or those lacking pigment and hair in certain locations, such as ears and nose. Among the treatment strategies, the surgical technique may be the treatment of choice, depending on the staging of the condition. This report aims to discuss about a case of spine cell carcinoma in the pinna of a cat, presenting a complete surgical cure post-conchectomy in a detailed pre and post-surgical approach.
