Abstract

A report of a five-year-old male child diagnosed as a recurrent perineal giant cell fibroblasoma is described. Complete tumour removal was obtained with micrographic surgery and complete pathological analysis of the limits of the tumour with the "technique verticale modifiée" developed in our institution. The closure of the operative wound was performed with a posterior perforator thigh flap based on the descending branch of the inferior gluteal vessels. Thanks to these new surgical and pathological approaches, the complete removal of this recurring tumour was achieved with acceptable oncologic, fonctionnal and cosmetic results in this young child.
