Resection for recurrent malignant tumors of the parotid gland may be accompanied with the full-thickness defect of the parotid-masseteric region. We reported the reconstructive technique for the full-thickness defect of the parotid-masseteric regoin with scalping forehead flap.<BR>A 52-year-old man had the complaint of swelling in his left buccal region and visited our clinic in 1978. We performed the resection of primary tumor on the patient in 1983. The patient showed few evidences of recurrence postoperatively. The full-thickness defect, 6×3 cm in size was present in his parotid-masseteric region. We repaired the intraoral defect with hinge flap of pectoralis major myocutaneous flap and covered the extraoral defect with scalping forehead flap in 1990. By the use of this technique, we succeeded in functional and aesthetic reconstraction.
