Abstract
Objectives: To describe the importance and versatility of the fascia latae ap for coverage of wide defects of the upper third and lower extremity. A retrospective study was carried out in a male Method: patient diagnosed with sarcoma of the left inguinal region, who underwent surgical treatment (wide excision with safety margins) + reconstruction and coverage of the bloody area with a local myofasciocutaneous fascia ap of fascia lata. Results: A 64-year-old man reported nodular presence in the left inguinal region of 1 year of evolution, the beginning of the size of a pea, which has been increasing in size and becoming painful on palpation, becoming visible on inspection, on palpation the presence of a hard, xed, painful tumor lesion. Computed Tomography (CT) scan revealed ndings regarding probable myxoid liposarcoma and embryonic biopsy of malignant mesenchymal neoplasia in favor of sarcoma. Extensive excision was performed with margin of injury safety + reconstruction and coverage of the bloody area with myofasciocutaneous local pedunculated fascia lata ap. Sarcoma is a rare and aggressive soft tissue tumor that can appear an Conclusion: ywhere in the human body. There are more than 50 types. Treatment for curative purposes will always be a complete excision with safety margins in both extension and depth, leaving great defects in coverage and functionality in the affected region. It is here where the knowledge of aps is put into practice for better coverage and preserve the functionality of the area involved. In the upper third of the thigh, the pedunculated fascia latae ap is considered to be of choice due to its versatility (cutaneous, fascius, muscular), extension, rotation and very low risk of complications.
