title: [Reconstruction of a palatal defect with pedicled myomucosal flap of buccinator muscle].
abstract: The myomucosal flap from buccinator muscle is a versatile flap useful on reconstruction of defects located in the palatine region. We report the case of a vascular tumor located in the left palate which was removed and rebuilt with a myomucosal flap taken from buccinator muscle. We proceed previously to the embolization of its nutritional artery (a. palatina major).
