Description
Second primary squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in the skin of a Xap used for reconstruction of Xoor of mouth is rare. A case of SCC arising in the pectoralis major myocutaneous Xap that was used to reconstruct the Xoor of mouth 12 years after subtotal glossectomy and resection of the Xoor of mouth is reported. The tumour is a second primary SCC arises in the skin of a myocutaneous Xap without any obvious risk factors. Review of the literature reveals four previous similar reports and the Wndings are summarized. In summary, squamous epithelium of the skin Xap after prolonged exposure to non-physiological stimuli may lead to metaplasia and possible carcinoma formation. Long-term follow up and awareness of this complication are needed for head and neck cancer patients after resection and reconstruction
