Bilateral turn-table rectus abdominis myocutaneous flaps for an upper abdominal recurrent dermatofibrosarcoma.
The use of two "turn-table" rectus abdominis myocutaneous flaps is described using skin extensions from well above the costal margin, to close a large upper abdominal defect. The chest donor site was covered with a deltopectoral flap with primary closure, helped by postoperative arm positioning.
