Abstract
The management of face and neck defects has always been a difficult challenge, which tests the maxillofacial surgeons' ability to decide which therapeutic option is suitable for each individual patient, and which tools are to be used to guarantee an optimum management of the patient. We report the case of a patient with recurrent basal cell carcinoma of the chin area. Reconstruction of the large defect after tumor resection was successfully performed by a deltopectoral flap. We believe that this old flap can be a contemporary and effective answer, to difficult question of reconstruction of large defects of face and neck, especially in patients who may be exposed to certain risks relating to long-lasting anesthesia.
