Reconstruction of facial dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans using an anterolateral thigh flap: a case report and literature review
Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is a rare, locally aggressive cutaneous malignancy with a high rate of recurrence if the head-and-neck region is involved. Treatment is challenging as it is difficult to avoid poor aesthetic and functional outcomes using the standard approach of complete resection with negative margins and subsequent reconstruction. This is especially challenging in cases where the face is involved and the defect is large after resection. There have been few cases of reconstruction using different flaps reported. We present the case of a young lady with a large cheek tumor, which was reconstructed using an anterolateral thigh flap. Excellent functional and aesthetic outcomes were achieved.
