Abstract
Carcinoma of the head, neck and face is a challenge faced by surgeons worldwide. This case report presents a complicated surgical approach utilised in a patient diagnosed with right lower lip and gingivobuccal sulcus carcinoma, with a fixed neck flexion deformity due to ankylosing spondylitis. The patient, a 55-year-old man with cervical kyphosis, was declared inoperable due to his complex anaesthetic and surgical requirements. We performed a successful wide local excision of the tumour with a right marginal mandibulectomy, and later reconstructed the defect using a left free radial forearm flap.
