Neoplastic changes in transposed deltopectoral skin.

F E Johnson, P K Chang, A G Huvos

    Archives of Otolaryngology (Chicago, Ill. : 1960)

    Summary

    Benign verrucous tumors can develop in reconstructed pharynges after surgery. These rare complications require further resection to restore swallowing function.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Head and Neck Surgery
    • Surgical Oncology

    Background:

    • Pharyngeal resection and reconstruction are complex procedures often involving skin grafts.
    • Deltopectoral skin flaps are a common method for pharyngeal reconstruction.
    • Monitoring for long-term complications is crucial in patients undergoing these surgeries.

    Observation:

    • A patient developed multiple benign verrucous tumors in the neopharynx.
    • The tumors appeared in the area reconstructed with a transposed deltopectoral skin flap.
    • These growths differed histologically from the original pharyngeal carcinoma.

    Findings:

    • The verrucous tumors necessitated extensive surgical resection.
    • Surgical intervention was required to restore adequate swallowing function.
    • The complication, though rare, highlights potential long-term sequelae of pharyngeal reconstruction.

    Implications:

    • This case suggests a potential for benign tumor development in reconstructed pharyngeal tissues.
    • Increased vigilance for unusual growths in neopharynges is warranted.
    • Further research and case reporting are needed to understand the incidence and management of such complications.
