AI Article Synopsis
- - A 34-year-old man had a long-standing nodule on his chest, which was diagnosed as atrophic dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) after slow Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS).
- - MRI showed a large lesion that was in close proximity to the pectoralis major muscle, indicating a significant reconstruction challenge.
- - The reconstruction involved a rotational flap and synthetic xenogeneic artificial dermis to close a 13 cm x 12 cm defect left after surgery.
Article Abstract
This case report describes the utility of artificial dermis in reconstruction for atrophic dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) after slow Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS). A 34-year-old man presented as a slowly growing nodule from an on his right chest for over 10 years. The pathology report confirmed the diagnosis of atrophic DFSP. Further magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a 9.3 cm x 6.5 cm cutaneous-subcutaneous lesion with close contact with the pectoralis major muscle. The patient underwent a slow MMS, and we utilized a rotational flap in combination with synthetic xenogeneic artificial dermis to reconstruct the final 13 cm x 12 cm defect.
