Dermatologic surgery rounds: double rotation (Yin-Yang) flap for reconstruction of a circular skin defect after BCC removal in the scalp region.

Abstract

An 84-year-old male came to the dermatology department with primary complaints of a tumor formation located on the vertex of the scalp. The surrounding skin showed mild sun damage, but no surgical scars or additional malignancies were noted. A clinical diagnosis of basal cell carcinoma was established, and surgical excision under local anesthesia with lidocaine was recommended.
