The facial mass is a complex anatomical region that houses sensory organs.
The development of an oncologic disease, as well as its treatment, causes functional and esthetic defects with a high physical and psychological cost for the patient and his environment. This is why reconstruction represents a challenge.
The different possibilities include obturator-root prostheses, free, pedicled or microvascularized flaps.
In this article the temporal muscle flap will be described and a clinical case of maxillary oncologic surgery reconstructed by means of it is developed in a patient who presents an exophytic lesion in the right upper quadrant, which extends over the vestibular flank, alveolar ridge and palatal area, from the premolar area up to and including the second molar area, preventing him from using the dental prosthesis.
This surgery is an economical technique that requires less surgical time than other techniques, and is associated with a low failure rate and few postoperative complications.
