English abstract Basal cell carcinoma corresponds to the majority of malignant cutaneous malignancies in Brazil, predominating in middle-aged white individuals, mainly affecting the upper two-thirds of the face and occurring due to several etiological factors. The ideal treatment consists of complete removal with free lesion margins. For better functional and aesthetic results, reconstruction of the surgical wound with flaps or grafts may be necessary. Two types of reconstruction are described in patients with double surgical defects on the face, close to each other: one with a single rotation flap and another with a double rotation flap, also called Yin-Yang
Portuguese abstract O carcinoma basocelular corresponde à maioria das neoplasias cutâneas malignas no Brasil, predominando nos indivíduos brancos de meia-idade, atingindo principalmente os dois terços superiores da face e ocorrendo devido a vários fatores etiológicos. O tratamento ideal consiste na remoção completa com margens livres de lesão. Para melhor resultado funcional e estético, pode ser necessária a reconstrução da ferida operatória com retalhos ou enxertos. Descrevem-se dois tipos de reconstrução em pacientes portadores de duplos defeitos cirúrgicos na face, próximos entre si: um com retalho de rotação simples e outro com retalho de dupla rotação, também chamado Yin-Yang
