We present the case of a 55-year-old male patient who came to our attention because of a basal cell carcinoma of the right retroauricolar area, near the mastoid-auricle border. The tumor had a size of about 1.5 cm. Repairing retroauricolar surgical defects may be actually very challenging, firstly because an incorrect reconstruction may result in severe deformities which are extremely hard to conceal; so, we decided to employ the "jigsaw puzzle" advancement flap, a versatile flap, firstly successfully used in the reconstruction of a nasal ala defect.

Background: Acute mastoiditis (AM) is a severe infection of the mastoid air cells that occurs in cases of acute, sub-acute, or chronic middle ear infections. No definitive consensus regarding the management of AM has been identified. The current guidelines include a conservative approach (parenteral antibiotics alone, antibiotics plus minor surgical procedures such as myringotomy with a ventilation tube inserted or drainage of the subperiosteal abscess through retro-auricolar incision or needle aspiration) or surgical treatment (mastoidectomy).

Article Synopsis
- A patient was identified with developmental delays and physical anomalies, who also exhibited both HS and psoriatic plaques, likely linked to a genetic microduplication on chromosome 17q21.31.
- Treatment with adalimumab led to significant improvement, and the case suggests a potential genetic connection between the CRHR1 gene duplication and the development of both psoriatic arthritis and HS in the patient.

This paper aims to describe a rare case of cochlear implant (CI) failure due to electrode array migration and review the literature on the topic. A 72-year-old woman complained of retroauricolar pain two years after receiving a left CI, with deterioration of the auditory skills and an increased impedance of electrodes. Temporal bone computed tomographic scans revealed a soft density tissue involving the left mastoid and the middle ear.
