      Abstract

      The use of fasciocutaneous flaps in the treatment of soft tissue defects has been widely accepted. This study presents a case in which a huge defect after surgical resection of an advanced rhabdomyosarcoma was reconstructed by an extraordinarily large vertical fasciocutaneous flap from the back.
