Key Points

The aim is to demonstrate the efficacy of the plesiosaurus flap technique in covering scalp defects after tumor excision.
Case report of a 54-year-old male with a problematic scalp lesion.
Surgical excision performed to remove the lesion.
Implementation of the plesiosaurus flap for defect coverage.
Successful closure of primary defect using the plesiosaurus flap.
Patient exhibited improved healing without significant complications.

Implication

Dermatosurgery reveals effective flap technique for scalp defect closure after lesion excision, indicating potential in similar cases.

Abstract

A 54-year-old male presented with a painful nodular, tumor-like lesion, in the right occipital region, present for approximately two years, clinically suspected of atheroma. Surgical excision of the lesion was recommended.
