A rare skin condition, lichen simplex chronicus (LSC), can develop after deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap breast reconstruction. This case highlights LSC diagnosis and treatment for improved patient outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Plastic Surgery
- Dermatology
- Oncology
Background:
- Deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap reconstruction is a gold standard for autologous breast reconstruction.
- Dermatological complications post-DIEP flap are under-recognized.
- This study focuses on a rare dermatological complication.
