HOWEVER, FLIGHT ATTENDANT REPORTED THAT THE SEAL FOR THE AFT RIGHT SERVICE DOOR APPEARED TO BE MISSING.  FLIGHT RETURNED TO FIELD AT PHL AND LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.  NO EMERGENCY WAS DECLARED.  MAINTENANCE FOUND THE AFT RIGHT SERVICE DOOR NOT CLOSED PROPERLY.  CYCLED DOOR TO CLOSED POSITION.  DOOR CHECKS OK.  INSPECTED DOOR AND DOOR SEAL.  PRESSURIZED AIRCRAFT.  NO LEAKS OR DEFECTS NOTED.  (M)
