Reconstruction of a Large Oncologic Defect Involving Lower Eyelid and Infraorbital Cheek Using MSTAFI Flap.

An oncologic defect that includes both the lower eyelid and the infraorbital cheek often results in complex reconstructive problems because its reconstruction involves 2 distinct tissue types and cosmetic subunits. Herein, we first present a novel combination of modified supratrochlear artery forehead island flap and advancement rotation cheek flap enables reconstructing a large oncologic defect of lower eyelid and infraorbital cheek. Although discoid lupus erythematosus affects the skin, the patient had achieved a satisfying color match and an acceptable aesthetic restoration without tumor recurrence. This novel flap has shown to be feasible, reliable, and advantageous alternative to the repair of such defects.
