METHODS: In October 2019, a 34-year old obese Caucasian Woman with a history of smoking came to our institute for a multinodular growing polypoid mass in her lumbar region. An incisional biopsy diagnosed DFSP. The patient underwent proper staging. A wide local excision with 3 cm clinically healthy tissue margins down to the muscle fascia was performed and the defect was repaired using a combined approach with a new artificial bilaminar dermal template (Pelnac®, Gunze Ltd., Osaka, Japan) and a negative-pressure wound therapy system (V.A.C.®, KCI, San Antonio, USA). After the final histological examination revealed tumor-free margins, a split-thickness graft was harvested from the right gluteus and fixed to the new derma with negative-pressure wound therapy. Postoperative radiotherapy was not necessary. After 15 days, the wound had healed without complications, with satisfactory aesthetic outcome and with no limitation of back motion or pain. After 6 months of follow-up, the patient was free from disease.
CONCLUSIONS: This is the first reported case of Pelnac® use in DFSP reconstruction of the lumbar region. We believe that the multistep approach described herein may be a good alternative approach in selected patients with wide resections in particular anatomical areas, especially when frozen sections (with Mohs micrographic surgery) are not available.
方法:2019年10月,一名34岁有吸烟史的肥胖白种人女性来到我们的研究所,因为她的腰椎区域有多结节样肿块。切口活检诊断为DFSP。患者接受了适当的分期。进行了3厘米临床健康组织边缘向下至肌肉筋膜的广泛局部切除术,并使用新的人工双层真皮模板联合方法修复了缺损(Pelnac®,GunzeLtd.,大阪,日本)和负压伤口治疗系统(V.A.C.®,圣安东尼奥KCI,美国)。最终组织学检查显示无瘤边缘,我们从右侧臀肌获取厚薄的移植物,并通过负压伤口治疗固定在新的皮肤上.术后不需要放疗。15天后,伤口愈合,没有并发症,具有令人满意的美学效果,并且背部运动或疼痛没有限制。经过6个月的随访,病人没有疾病。
结论:这是第一例报道的Pelnac®用于腰椎区域的DFSP重建。我们认为,本文所述的多步骤方法可能是在特定解剖区域进行广泛切除的选定患者的良好替代方法。特别是当冷冻切片(使用Mohs显微手术)不可用时。
