“…Reconstructive options are dictated by many factors, but ideally any chosen method should aim for maximizing esthetic and functional gains for the patient and minimizing possible complications, complexity and multiplicity of procedures [11,18].…”

“…The covering flap is contiguous to the defect, thus obviating the need for a donor site management. The procedure is versatile in design and is modifiable and extensible.20 Reversed abdominoplasty can address epigastric soft tissue tumors in a similar fashion to classical abdominoplasty for infra umbilical ones [18,21].…”
Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is a rare skin neoplasm with a high recurrence rate and a local invasive behavior. Excisional surgery is the mainstay of treatment of such tumors. Obtaining an adequate surgical safety margin is essential to ensure radical excision, however this may result in extensive skin and soft tissue defects that may require resurfacing. In this clinical case report, we describe a case of a large DFSP of the lower anterior abdominal wall, treated by abdominoplasty, we also perform a relevant scoping literature review on the topic.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
