Reconstruction after Resection of Undifferentiated Pleomorphic Sarcoma and Invasive Ductal Carcinoma in a Patient with Li-Fraumeni Syndrome.

ABSTRACT

This case exhibits a presentation of multiple primary malignancies in a patient with Li-Fraumeni syndrome, necessitating surgical excision and multistaged reconstruction. Due to Li-Fraumeni syndrome patients' predisposition to developing malignancies, management includes lifelong surveillance and aggressive treatment of cancers. Plastic surgeons can minimize damage to patient's quality of life by carrying out reconstruction in a thoughtful manner that maximizes function and considers a potential lifetime of future reconstructive needs.
