چکیده
OBJECTIVE The Dabska tumor is a rare low-grade angiosarcoma first described in 1969 by Maria Dabska. Approximately 30 cases of varying presentations have been reported since its initial description. METHODS We describe a case of a 23-year-old woman presenting with a massive recurrent left flank hemangioendothelioma, at final resection diagnosed to be an endovascular papillary angioendothelioma (Dabska tumor). The sheer size of the tumor necessitated reconstructive surgery. RESULTS Successful abdominal reconstruction after radical resection of a Dabska tumor was achieved using local fasciocutaneous-type flaps. CONCLUSION To our knowledge, this is the first case report describing reconstructive surgery following resection of an abdominal Dabska tumor.
