Titanium mesh in the reconstruction of a malar defect: a case report.

Background: Increasing rates of non-melanoma skin cancer support the use of prosthetic materials for the closure of post-surgical defects with cartilage or bone involvement. The use of allografts, especially titanium, is well established in maxillofacial procedures but is uncommon in dermatologic surgery.

Methods: A 92-year-old man presented with a basal cell carcinoma measuring 2×3 cm on the right cheek.
