Keywords: | Island pedicle flap; reconstruction; umbilicus | Issue Date: | 2017 | Publisher: | Wolters Kluwer Health | Serial title, monograph or event: | Journal of Cutaneous and Aesthetic Surgery | Volume: | 10 | Issue: | 4 | Abstract: | An 81-year-old woman was admitted with a nodular cutaneous melanoma of the abdominal wall involving the umbilicus. After performing wide excision with 2 cm margin of the melanoma, umbilical reconstruction and defect closure were planned. After careful consideration, we decided to use an island pedicle flap which allowed closure of the defect and reconstruction of the umbilicus. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/108225 | ISSN: | 0974-2077 | DOI: | 10.4103/JCAS.JCAS_49_17 | Rights: | openAccess |
