A Case of Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma Treated with Gluteus Maximus Musculocutaneous Flap / 대한피부과학회지

ABSTRACT

The major problem of the treatment of the sacral ulcer is that the area is under too much pressure. Thus, in a case of skin graft after the removal of a lesion, if the padding is not enough, the ulcer will recur. The gluteus maximus muscle has an abundant volume of subcutaneous fat and muscle, and provides the pressure site with enough padding. Therefore, the gluteus maximus musculocutaneous flap has been most commonly used for the treatment of the sacral pressure ulcer. We herein report a case of malignant fibrous histiocytoma in the sacral area treated with the gluteus maximus musculocutaneous flap.
