title: Two-stage free latissimus dorsi flap: a safe strategy for reconstruction of large defects of the abdominal wall.
abstract: We report a case of full abdominal wall reconstruction after resection of a dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans. The treatment comprised wide resection with a 5 cm peripheral margin and deep resection to a disease-free anatomical structure. The reconstruction was done in two-stages with a free latissimus dorsi flap.
