<p>Basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma are the most common malignant tumors of the face. The paramedian forehead flap is the standard reconstructive choice for closing large-sized defects of the distal half of the nose. A melolabial interpolation flap and bilobed or trilobed flaps are another option. The dorsal nasal (Rieger) flap is suitable at this location for the closure of small-sized defects, particularly when they are located medially. Here we are discussing an ulcus rodens case we observed in an elderly patient which was treated with a Rieger’s flap.</p>

Latar belakang: Penutupan defek wajah yang luas dengan jabir bebas forearm dan jabir foreheadparamedian merupakan salah satu pilihan pada pasien pasca eksisi luas dan pemberian radioterapi akibatkeganasan kepala leher. Tetapi cara ini bukan merupakan pilihan yang utama, meskipun memiliki tingkatkeberhasilan yang baik, khususnya pasca radioterapi.Tujuan: Kasus ini diajukan untuk memperlihatkankeberhasilan penutupan defek wajah yang luas dengan jabir bebas forearm, jabir forehead paramedianpasca eksisi luas dan radioterapi pada kasus karsinoma sel basal.Laporan kasus: Dilaporkan seorangperempuan 68 tahun dengan karsinoma sel basal yang dilakukan tindakan eksisi luas dan radioterapi.Penatalaksanaan: Setelah 6 bulan pasca radioterapi, dilakukan penutupan defek dengan menggunakanjabir bebas forearm, dan jabir forehead paramedian yang digunakan sebagai pengganti mukosa hidung sertadilakukan anastomosis radial forearm. Bagian dahi ditutup dengan full thickness skin graft (FTSG) yangdiambil dari regio abdominal pasien.Kesimpulan: Jabir bebas forearm dan jabir forehead paramedianmerupakan salah satu alternatif untuk rekonstruksi defek luas pada daerah kepala leher sesudah radioterapi. Kata kunci: Jabir bebas forearm, jabir forehead paramedian, karsinoma sel basal, radioterapi, eksisi luas ABSTRACTBackground: Paramedian forehead flap and radial forearm free flap is one option for reformationof excessive defect caused by tumor extirpation and radiotherapy in head and neck cancer, but not themain option in head neck reconstruction. In some certain condition, it has a better success rate thanother flap techniques, especially in postradiation patients on facial region. Purpose: To present evidencebased case report in order to show the result of reconstruction in a patient with basal cell carcinomawho underwent wide excision with paramedian forehead flap, radial forearm free flap and radiotherapy.Case report: We reported one case, a 68 years old woman who had basal cell carcinoma and underwentwide excision and radiotherapy. Management: Six months later, we performed reconstructive surgeryto close the forehead defect by reverse paramedian forehead flap, and replacing the nasal mucosa withradial forearm anastomosis, on the forehead covered with a full thickness skin graft (FTSG) taken fromabdominal region of the patient. Conclusion: Radial forearm and paramedian forehead flap can beconsidered as an alternative for reconstruction of wide defect of the head pasca radiotherapy. Keywords: Radial forearm flap, and paramedian forehead flap, basal cell carcinoma, radiotherapy, wideexcision Alamat korespondensi: Lina Marlina, Departemen Ilmu Kesehatan Telinga Hidung Tenggorok-BedahKepala Leher, Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Padjadjaran/RumahSakit Hasan Sadikin, Bandung,e-mail: [email protected].

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common type of nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC). It grows slowly and very rarely metastasizes but can cause substantial morbidity due to its tendency to relapse and locally invasive nature, especially when located on the face. Excision surgery is still the gold standard treatment for primary BCC and is usually followed by reconstruction procedure. Skin flap techniques vary widely, one of which is flap advancement technique. The main benefit of flap advancement technique is the ability to hide the excision line, thus resulting in an aesthetically sound outcome. We report a case of 72-year-old female with hyperpigmented plaque brownish lump on the left lateral cheek. A diagnosis of igmented basal cell carcinoma had been confirmed through histopathological examination. The patient was treated with wide excision surgery and the defect was closed by multiple advancement flaps. Follow-up after three months showed excellent cosmetic and functional outcome.
