Abstract
In reconstructions of extensive head and neck injuries, the flaps used must allow the lesions to be closed without contracture and offer minimization of esthetic damage. To report the strategy of reconstructing an extensive and complex lesion on the face after excision of a malignant skin lesion. Male, 34 years old, with anatomopathological diagnosis of squamous-cell carcinoma with compromised margins. The patient underwent extensive resection of the lesion and subsequent reconstruction. Extensive resections often lead to the need for use of combined flaps for reconstruction. Association of pectoralis major myocutaneous flaps with supraclavicular fasciocutaneous flaps allowed effective reconstruction in the clinical case presented.
