In soft tissue sarcomas, the role of the plastic surgeon is reinforced to ensure clear resection margins, and a risk-based reconstruction algorithm now guides the use of flaps in high-risk patients.

The presence of Raynaud's phenomenon can influence the immediate postoperative evolution of a free flap by making it difficult to monitor. We present a case of a 50-year-old woman with an unknown Raynaud's phenomenon who underwent breast reconstruction using a free DIEP flap. She was referred to our department where a one-stage reconstruction was performed using a free deep inferior epigastric artery perforator (DIEP) flap. The postoperative course of the flap progressed from pale to cyanotic to mottled, an evocative appearance for Raynaud's phenomenon. At the three-month follow-up evaluation, the aesthetic result was satisfactory, despite a worrying postoperative appearance. Good outcomes are possible by using appropriate methods in the postoperative period, even if the clinical evolution of the flap is atypical.
