Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) is an extremely rare and biologically aggressive tumor. Treatment should ensure wide resection with negative margins because of the high recurrence rate and the risk of metastatic spread as well as the limited benefit of chemotherapy in children. Vascularized bone free flaps are considered the gold standard in reconstructing congenital, infectious, trauma or tumor induced significant defects in the mandible. Optimal reconstruction of mandibular defects is controversial. Simplicity of tecnique with minimal donor site morbidity is a important requirement of a well reconstruction. Important factors such as facial aesthetics and chewing should be taken into account in the planning of pediatric head and neck reconstruction. This study aims to present a MPNST in the left mandible and the mandible’s reconstruction with a free vascularized osteocutaneous fibula flap in a 5-year-old patient. There was not any complication in the 3-year follow-up. Mandibular growth and facial symmetry were maintained. Level of evidence: Level V, therapeutic study.
