Abstract
Introductionand importance: Large cutaneous defects may result from excision of skin malignancies. Typically, skin grafting is used to manage such defects, but the final result may be compromised by inadequate take and poor cosmesis. Accordingly, transposition flaps may be indicated.Case Presentation and clinical discussion: A 93-year-old female presented with a painful, necrotic 12 cm × 12 cm Squamous Cell Cancer of left upper back. She underwent wide excision followed by a rhomboid transposition fasciocutaneous flap. The flap was easily designed, quickly executed, and did not require any special instruments. The overall result was a good cosmetic outcome with no complications. ConclusionOur case outlines successful use of rhomboid flap instead of a more complicated option to reconstruct a very large cutaneous defect. The flap healed with excellent contour, texture, thickness, and color match.
