In order to better characterize the nature of the mass and its anatomical boundaries, an MRI (Figure 1) was performed which showed an intramuscular lesion of 8 cm x 4 cm infiltrating the cervical portion of the left trapezius without any involvement of the overlying subcutaneous tissues and skin.
MRI control at 1 year post-op, showing perfect integration of the flap at the recipient site.

A 10 years of clinical follow-up shows a great aesthetic result both in recipient and donor site (Figure 3-6) and almost total functional recovery of the trapezius muscle (Supplementary Videos 1-3).
