BALAGUER-CAMBRA, J.; LANDIN JARILLO, L.  e  GILLEN MORALES, I.. Latissimus dorsi turn over flap for giant basal cell carcinoma reconstruction in elderly patient. Cir. plást. iberolatinoam. [online]. 2009, vol.35, n.1, pp.69-72. ISSN 1989-2055.

Basal cell carcinoma are well known as slow local growth cutaneous tumors that can enlarge through years in low socioeconomic and poor health assistance environments, as in the case that we present, with a 21 x 13 cm ulcerated lesion located over back midline. The Latissimus Dorsi muscle flap offers a reliable reconstruction in elderly patients avoiding the use of free flaps. This flap, because of its two different pedicles, can be used to reach defects in opposite directions.
