[Note on lingual mutilations and their possible surgical repair]. 1975

L Lebourg

A historical review is followed by a case report concerning a 58-year-old man cured of a pelvilingual carcinoma at the price of severe mutilation in whom it was possible, with the aid of cutaneo-cylindircal grafts, to close a buccocervical fistula and to anatomically reconstruct the tongue. This rare case proves that after treatment for carcinoma, stomatological plastic surgery is possible when cure is certain and the patient's general condition good.
