Resumen
ARREDONDO, J. et al. DIEP flap reconstruction after palliative curettage mastectomy in locally advanced breast cancer. Anales Sis San Navarra [online]. 2013, vol.36, n.1, pp.141-144. ISSN 1137-6627. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1137-66272013000100019.
Background. Curettage mastectomy is indicated as a palliative treatment in locally advanced breast cancer. We present our experience with the use of a DIEP flap reconstruction following extensive mastectomy. Methods. We report the case of a patient with very advanced local breast cancer that was subsidiary to aggressive palliative surgery after chemotherapy. Results. It was considered that the closure that could be performed with the latissimus dorsi muscle was unsuitable, therefore a DIEP flap was performed. The patient was discharged uneventfully. Conclusion. The DIEP reconstruction offers great cutaneous extension. It can be a resource in highly selected cases of locally advanced breast cancer in which surgery becomes the main treatment.
