A 3-year-old male neutered Domestic Shorthair cat was evaluated for a skin mass of approximately 2 × 3 cm arising from the right dorsolateral aspect of the tail at the junction between the proximal and middle one-thirds of the tail length. Incisional biopsy sample was consistent with granulomatous inflammation. The granuloma was surgically excised with 5 mm margins of normal skin. The resulting defect was closed using an axial pattern flap based on a cutaneous branch of the dorsal perineal artery and augmented by a local subdermal plexus transposition flap. There was 100% survival of the flaps at postoperative days 7, 15 and 21.
We describe an axial pattern flap based on a cutaneous branch of the dorsal perineal artery in a cat. This flap offers surgeons a viable option for closing skin defects situated on the proximal one-third of the tail and a practical alternative to tail amputation.
一只3岁已绝育的雄性家养短毛猫因尾巴右背外侧近尾长三分之一与中三分之一交界处出现一个约2×3厘米的皮肤肿块而接受评估。切开活检样本符合肉芽肿性炎症。肉芽肿通过手术切除，切除边缘为5毫米正常皮肤。所形成的缺损采用基于会阴背动脉皮支的轴型皮瓣关闭，并辅以局部皮下丛转位皮瓣。术后第7天、15天和21天皮瓣存活率为100%。
我们描述了一种基于猫会阴背动脉皮支的轴型皮瓣。该皮瓣为外科医生提供了一种可行的选择，用于闭合位于尾巴近端三分之一处的皮肤缺损，是一种替代尾巴截肢的实用方法。
