title: [Functional reconstruction of the superficial posterior compartment of the leg after tumour ablation in an infant].
abstract: A 33-month-old female child was diagnosed with a papillary intralymphatic angioendothelioma, a rare type of low-grade angiosarcoma, on the dorsal lower leg. The soleus and gastrocnemius muscle including the Achilles tendon and the subcutis and cutis were resected. The defect was functionally reconstructed by a neurovascular musculocutaneous latissimus dorsi free-flap transfer.
