  • Title: The use of paramedian forehead flap reconstruction after wide excision of basal cell carcinoma of the nose.
    Author: Chew YK, Noorizan Y, Khir A, Brito-Mutunayagam S, Prepagaran N.
    Journal: Med J Malaysia; 2008 Oct; 63(4):339-40. PubMed ID: 19385500.
    Abstract:
    Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is an indolent, slow-growing malignant skin tumour. Approximately 70% of the tumours occur in the head and neck region. The nose is a common site for malignant skin tumours, such as basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma because it is exposed to the sun. Excision of the BCC will leave the nose with a soft tissue defect which requires reconstruction. This report illustrates a case of BCC of nose whereby a wide excision and reconstruction was performed with a paramedian forehead flap.
