Text

There are a number of different malignant neoplasms that arise in the nasal cavity, the most common of which are squamous cell carcinoma and variants of adenocarcinoma, followed by neuroendocrine tumors and mucosal melanoma.

Skin cancers on the nose are often difficult to treat due to the complex anatomy of this region. Once the cancer has been removed, reconstruction can be challenging since the nose is a rigid structure that relies on important and complex anatomic landmarks for its aesthetic appearance.

The diagnostic techniques may include tissue biopsy, clotting profile, CT scan, nasal radiography, brush cytology and rhinoscopy.

We are presenting a clicical case, 72 years old female who was treated surgical in our clinic, with the reconstruction of nasal pyramid.

The nose is extremely important from both a functional and cosmetic standpoint. As skin cancer rates rise at an alarming rate, it is vital to recognize areas such as the nose that are prone to developing cancer.
