Abstract
Oral carcinomas may eventually invade the perioral soft tissues. In su ch cases, tumor resection creates through and through defects. Similar defects are seen in patients with gunshot wounds. The versatility of the bilobed myocutaneous pectoralis major flap in closure of these def ects is emphasized. The results in nine patients treated by this metho d are discussed.
