Abstract: (2230 Views)
Introduction: Medial canthus area, as one of most common sites of facial skin cancers, is notified for reconstruction. There are numerous reconstructive options to cover resulted skin defects, which have their own advantages and disadvantages. Here, we decided to present our experience in medial canthal area with amazing result.
Case Report: A 47-year-old man with basal cell carcinoma (BCC) of right medial canthus, without extra involvement, was admitted. Following lesion excision with safe margin, the resulted skin defect in 30 mm diameter was reconstructed with full thickness skin graft from posterior auricular area. Several months later, it was really difficult to find scar or operated skin, as supported by complete patient`s satisfaction.
Conclusion: The space between eyes has unbelievable aesthetic and social importance. Any added scar or incision to this area is always challenging. It seems full thickness skin graft - if harvested from proper donor site - can be acceptable in long term aesthetic outcome compared to other reconstructive options.
