Abstract
The repair of large defects resulting from ablation of a primary malignancy of the skin requires judicious decision. Failing reasonable surety of extirpation, permitting spontaneous healing, if feasible, is the best course. Grafting or primary closure that does not require extensive undermining are usually second choices. Flap repair is least desirable, except in instances where immediate function is necessary.Keywords
