Reconstruction of a large chest wall defect using greater omentum. 1978

E W Jacobs, and S Hoffman, and P Kirschner, and C Danese

A 56-year-old woman was admitted for treatment of a large carcinoma that involved the chest wall. Fourteen years earlier, she had undergone a radical mastectomy, which was followed by chemotherapy and radiation therapy. The carcinoma was excised and the large anterior chest wall defect reconstructed using Marlex mesh, an omental pedicle flap, and a split-thickness skin graft.
