| description | Introduction: The umbilicus is a unique physiologic scar of human body. Its absence leads to an unnatural abdominal appearance and can cause psychological and social complexes.
Objective: To present a case of neoumbilicoplasty with vertical island pedicle flap for a large pigmented umbilical nevus.
Clinical case: A healthy 50-year-old female patient with a history of a pigmentated nevus on the umbilicus since childhood that complains of changes in size and color of it. She also referred notice a lump in the upper umbilical region which was an umbilical hernia. The patient underwent an omphalectomy with oncological margins, an umbilical hernia repair and a neoumbilicoplasty with vertical island pedicle flap. Seroma was the only postoperative complication. Aesthetic results were acceptable and satisfied the patient.
Conclusions: This is a rare case not only because the umbilical skin lesions are uncommon but the neoumbilicoplasty technique is rarely used. |
