basal cell carcinoma A-T advancement flap scalp reconstruction artificial intelligence dermoscopy

TLDR The A-T advancement flap is a safe and effective method for scalp reconstruction after basal cell carcinoma removal.

The case report discusses the use of artificial intelligence dermoscopy and an A-T advancement flap for treating basal cell carcinoma on the scalp of a 74-year-old patient. The carcinoma, located in the frontal region of the middle scalp line, was excised with a 6 mm safety margin, resulting in a 50 mm defect. The A-T advancement flap was used for reconstruction, yielding satisfactory functional and cosmetic outcomes without complications such as bleeding or necrosis. The study concludes that the A-T advancement flap is a practical and safe technique for scalp reconstruction, providing good structural and aesthetic results.
