Abstract
We report a case of a 45-year-old man with a recurrent, large, invasive dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans over the left lower chest and abdomen. Wide surgical excision of the tumor created a major thoracoabdominal wall defect. Wound coverage was achieved by using a flow-through forearm flap and an inferiorly based latissimus dorsi-groin flap. Follow-up at 1 year revealed no local recurrence or herniation.
