It is always a challenge for the soft tissue reconstruction of the palatal defects in advanced malignancies of the oral cavity because of the higher chance flap failure. PMMC flap can be successfully used in patients with advanced malignancies to repair the palatal defect without any significant postoperative complication. In the present case, we have presented a case of malignant melanoma of gingivobuccal complex, involving the hard palate where the palatal defect was successfully reconstructed by the PMMC flap.
由于皮瓣失败的几率较高,口腔晚期恶性肿瘤腭部缺损的软组织重建一直是一项挑战。胸大肌肌皮瓣(PMMC瓣)可成功用于晚期恶性肿瘤患者,以修复腭部缺损,且术后无任何严重并发症。在本病例中,我们展示了一例牙龈颊部复合体恶性黑色素瘤,累及硬腭,其腭部缺损通过胸大肌肌皮瓣成功重建。
