Abstract :
Parotid carcinoma is not an uncommon
pathology. Sometimes delays in patient presentation may
lead to challenges for surgical options. Because of the
location of the parotid and its close relationship with the
facial nerve, a limited number of options are available
for managing large tumors. We operated on a case with
a huge ulcerative lesion on the left side of the face and
the facial defect was covered with a supraclavicular flap.
Postoperative results were very convincing.Key Points
Immediate reconstruction of facial defect after excising
a large parotid tumor improved patient satisfaction
For volume restoration after huge parotid tumor
excision, supraclavicular artery island flap is good
option.
Keywords :
