Complex reconstruction after wide excision of juvenile aponeurotic fibromatoses of upper one-third of leg

This report presents a 12-year-old boy with a juvenile musculoaponeurotic fibromatosis in the anteromedial aspect of the upper third of a left leg. Following wide local excision, two local flaps, medial gastrocnemius and a distally based peroneal artery perforator flap, were used to reconstruct the soft tissue defect. Reconstruction has provided an acceptable functional and cosmetic result.
