ABSTRACT

Microsurgical reconstruction of the face completely destroyed after malignant skin tumor excisions in a xeroderma pigmentosum patient is reported. The patient's left cheek was reconstructed using a free latissimus dorsi flap and the nose using a free forearm flap with a base of iliac bone graft. There has been no recurrence of tumor at or surrounding the transferred flap site over two years postoperative follow-up.
