Abstract
|
|
|
|
The parotid gland, which is the largest salivary gland, is the most common gland harboring tumors. Parotidectomy frequently alters facial appearance, particularly in terms of leading to deformities and scars. A 38-year-old male with a large malignant right parotid tumor underwent resection of the tumor leading to a significant soft tissue depression and defect over the parotid region. We successfully reconstructed the defect using a combined superficial musculoaponeurotic system flap and a superiorly based partial thickness myocutaneous sternocleidomastoid muscle flap reinforced with the platysma. Postoperatively, the patient received radiotherapy and exhibited good esthetics and facial harmony.
