Abstract

Skin cancer is the main neoplasia in both men and women. Basal cell carcinoma is the primary type of head and neck tumor, comprising 25% of nasal tumors. The treatment of choice is exeresis, which often presents a challenge to the dermatologic surgeon, who must achieve an oncologic cure along with a good aesthetic result. The options for nasal reconstruction are diverse, and some are high in complexity, preventing their common use. The authors present the reconstruction of the nasal dorsum using a flap from de glabellar area, a safe procedure with low surgical complexity and performed in a single step, making it a good option for large lesions of the nasal dorsum.

Keywords: SURGICAL FLAPS; NOSE; CARCINOMA, BASAL CELL.
