DESCRIPTION This patient is a 76-year-old man with medical history of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and multiple squamous cell skin cancers. Four years prior, he underwent dermatographic resection of a squamous cell carcinoma of the right cheek that had involved the right facial nerve. Two years later, the lesion recurred. Radical resection with control of free margins was performed by the head and neck oncology service. The underlying maxilla and the infraorbital nerve were involved in the resection leaving the above defect.
