title: [Thigh root reconstruction with a pedicled DIEP flap].
abstract: Root thigh extensive loss of substance requires surgical coverage. The presence of chronic lymphedema (LC) makes random with the postoperative healing time longer. We report an original case of reconstruction of extensive loss of substance from the root of the thigh using a pedicled deep inferior epigastric flap perforator (DIEP) flap. A 22-year-old woman with angiosarcoma occurring in hemi-body lymphedema. The defect generated by the oncologic resection was 16×24cm. She was reconstructed by a pedicled DIEP flap. Skin wound healing was obtained within 30 days. Donor site healing was obtained within 15 days. The pedicled DIEP flap seems to be effective for root thigh reconstruction.
