Abstract
Basal cell carcinoma is the most common type of nonmelanoma skin cancer, and the nose is the most common site. The treatment of choice, surgical excision, may cause nasal defects, which may be challenging for surgeons for maintaining functionality and aesthetics. When planning the reconstruction, one should carefully consider the nose’s anatomical features and the patient’s individual characteristics. We report four cases of nasal defects due to surgical excision of basal cell carcinoma approached with different closure techniques (primary closure, flap, graft, and second-intention healing), achieving equally satisfactory esthetic and functional results..
