Abstract

91- year-old, Caucasian male patient, with a 35x40mm tumor, located in the right parietal region. Due to de dimension of the defects, primary closure was not able to accomplish, parallel relaxing incisions to the surgical defect was an option for reconstruction. Relaxing incisions to correct large defects of the scalp was proposed as an alternative and effective technique that avoids the execution of complex flaps and skin grafts procedures and has an acceptable cosmetic result.
