title: [Successful treatment of an inoperable periauricular planocellular carcinoma].
abstract: Surgery has been considered the first choice of treatment in planocellular skin cancers. However, adjuvant radiotherapy is often required in R1 resection or in lymph node positivity. Inoperable cases are also treated with ionizing radiation with palliative purpose. The authors present a case report of a successful treatment of an 87-year-old diabetic patient with a T4N1M0 stage periauricular destructive tumour treated with 3D conformal adaptive radiotherapy. Complete remission occurred although the initial treatment aim was only palliation.
