Article Synopsis
- Microcystic adnexal carcinoma is a rare malignant tumor that affects sweat glands, primarily found in the deep dermis and known for being locally aggressive with a low chance of metastasis.
- A case study discussed a 46-year-old woman who had a slow-growing lesion on her upper lip, diagnosed as this type of carcinoma; she underwent surgery for removal and reconstruction.
- The tumor often presents as a solitary lesion on the central face of middle-aged Caucasian women, requires an incisional biopsy for accurate diagnosis, and has no established consensus on treatment or follow-up due to its rarity.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the functional outcomes and quality of life (QoL) in oncologic patients with intraoral defects reconstructed with the buccinator myomucosal flap. A retrospective study was performed involving 39 patients with intraoral soft-tissue defects, reconstructed with a buccinator myomucosal flap during a six-year period. Patients completed the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer questionnaires, the standard questionnaire (QLQ-C30) and the head-and-neck specific module (QLQ-H&N35).
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA frozen neck is a scarred neck with severe fibrosis with a loss of tissue planes secondary to prior irradiation with or without surgery. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of cervicofacial reconstruction in patients with soft tissue defects and bone flap and reconstruction plate exposure with the upper trapezius myocutaneous flap. Fifteen oncologic patients with prior surgery and radiotherapy developed soft tissue dehiscence with bone and osteosynthesis material exposure.
