title: [Fat transplantation for postoperative cicatricial pain relief].
abstract: This case report presents a successful treatment with fat transplantation to painful scar tissue in the neck and back region after excision of a proliferative myositis (pseudosarcoma) and reconstruction with a trapezius flap in 1983. The patient had chronic pain, social disabilities and a visual analogue scale (VAS) score of 8 preoperatively. At a postoperative control six months later the patient experienced no pain any longer, the VAS score was 1 and he was working full time.
