Abstract

Recent progress in myocutaneous and free flaps has made repairs possible after wide resections of head and neck tumors.We treated a 67-year-old male patient with carcinoma of the tongue and oral floor.Reconstruction of large defects with the use of a pedicled latissimus dorsi flap and a free rectus abdominis flap was done after total laryngo-glossectomy and subtotal mandibular resection.The incidence of multiple primary cancer in patients with carcinoma of the tongue and oral floor is high, so periodic examimations are important.
