A case is presented in which a scalp island flap in an elderly bald male was used for intraoral reconstruction following tumour excision. The flap was based on the posterior branch of the superficial temporal vessels as its arteriovenous system. This flap when available has advantages over other flaps described for intra-oral reconstruction.
