[Abrikossoff's tumor: about one case of inter-mammary cutaneous localization and review of literature].

Subject: Our report concerns a large inter-mammary cutaneous Abrikossoff tumor on a 41-year-old female patient, which has prompted us to review the literature.

Case: It was a low pre-sternal skin tumor; CT-Scanning showed a homogeneous mass 5 cm high, 4 cm wide and 4 cm deep. Total tumoral included the right pectoralis major muscle aponeurosis.

The gracilis musculocutaneous flap: vascular supply of the muscle and skin components.

Unlabelled: In reconstructive techniques, the use of the composite gracilis skin flap may be complicated by a total or partial necrosis of the cutaneous paddle. Our study was aimed to describe the vascular anatomy of the gracilis muscle and the related skin, in order to have a better understanding of the skin's blood supply, and to help in determining a safer cutaneous paddle during transfer.

Materials And Methods: We performed a detailed anatomical description of the gracilis vessels on 32 human cadavers' thighs.

[Recurrence of a basal cell carcinoma in a skin graft in spite of total excision. A case report].

The authors report an original case of a recurrence of basal cell carcinoma in a skin graft recipient site. The skin graft was used to resurface the defect following complete excision of basal cell carcinoma in the mandibular angle area. Three answers can be given to the question of the origin of that new carcinoma: recurrence of the primary carcinoma, metastasis to a lymph node or a transfer of a basal cell carcinoma located into the skin graft which grew further.
