Abstract
in English, Chinese

Lateral thoracic flap is a free flap for the reconstruction of soft tissue defects and has been previously used in oral and maxillofacial surgeries. We reported a case involving a huge soft tissue defect on the parotid region caused by the resection of parotid epithelial myoepithelial carcinoma. We discussed the anatomy and application of the lateral thoracic flap.

侧胸部皮瓣是修复组织缺损的皮瓣之一，近年来在颌面外科修复中得到了应用。本文报道1例应用侧胸部皮瓣修复腮腺巨大肿瘤的患者，并结合文献探讨侧胸部皮瓣的解剖及应用。
