H-shaped flap for basal cell carcinoma reconstruction. A case report

Background Skin cancer represents the most frequent malignant tumor worldwide, with basal cell carcinoma (BCC) being the most frequent type of skin neoplasia. The evolution is essentially local, and metastatic forms are exceptional. The reference treatment is surgery, with histological control, but some tumors with a good prognosis can be treated with topical treatment or by local destruction. We present the case of a 68-year-old male patient with bacocellular carcinoma in the right ciliary region, who underwent resection of the lesion and coverage of the defect using an H-shaped flap. This flap is currently an excellent alternative for reconstruction of this area. Keywords: H flap, basal cell carcinoma, eyebrow reconstruction
