Abstract
We provide a case report of reconstruction of a massive chest wall defect after recurrent phyllodes tumour resections. The reconstruction used a bipedicled groin and latissimus dorsi flap, with composite rib autologous reconstruction. The patient successfully recovered from the operation. Our case illustrates the applicability of this flap in the armamentarium of anterior chest wall reconstructive options.
