Reconstruction of a large postmastectomy irradiated chest wall defect was accomplished with a large musculocutaneous free flap of anterolateral thigh musculature and skin. The vascular anatomy of the donor area allows a very substantial flap and skin island to be transferred, leaving a well-tolerated donor defect.
