Basal cell carcinoma is a locally invasive malignant tumor, most frequently affecting Caucasian people. The nasal ala is a frequent site for this neoplasia. The treatment of choice is surgical, and Mohs micrographic surgery is one of the indicated techniques for presenting great accuracy in the histological control of margins and high cure rates with low recurrence rates. In this location, not only is a cure needed, but also the maintenance of facial aesthetics. The authors describe five cases of complete amputation of the nasal ala after Mohs micrographic surgery, with reconstruction using the Spear's flap.
