A case of basal cell carcinoma of the labial comminissure

Abstract

A 73-year-old female with basal cell carcinoma of the left labial cominissure, which invaded into the skin and cheek mucosa, was referred to our Department.
The left labial comminissure defect after tumor resection was immediately reconstructed using swining rotation flap, in which the incision line was designed in the cheek, subumandible and cervicle, and rotated toward the cominnissure. One month after operation she could wear the denture. One year later she was quite satisfied with the function and esthetics of the labial comminissure without any signs of recurrence and metastasis.
