A team of multi-center Erasmus MC surgeons consisting of thoracic surgeons, plastic surgeons and neurosurgeons present a case of a 74-year-old male patient, with a history of a squamous cell carcinoma in the left axilla. The patient underwent a multidisciplinary surgical resection through an extended forequarter amputation with thoracic wall resection and reconstruction.
