The reconstruction of surgical defects generated by the excision of nasal tumors is a challenge for dermatologic surgeons due to the rigid structure and low mobility in the region. Among the alternatives to repair these defects is the pedicled frontal interpolation flap, especially where there is involvement of two or more aesthetic units of the nose. The present study reports the case of a patient with basal cell carcinoma involving the alae, tip, and columella of the nose, in which surgical repair after resection was carried out with pedicled frontal interpolation flap or medial frontal flap with excellent cosmetic results.
