  • Title: Total nasal prosthesis after resection of a recurrence of skin carcinoma on a forehead flap in a post-rhinectomy site.
    Author: Benech A, Arcuri F, Nicolotti M, Crespi MC, Pia F.
    Journal: J Craniofac Surg; 2012 Nov; 23(6):e627-8. PubMed ID: 23172502.
    Abstract:
    The nose is the most common site for facial skin cancer; nonmelanoma skin cancers are the most common tumors of this region. Median and paramedian forehead flaps have been proposed for nasal defects greater than 2.5-3 cm in diameter. The aim of this study was to describe a peculiar case of a recurrence of a squamous cell carcinoma in a forehead flap of a post-rhinectomy site managed by a fabrication of a total nasal prosthesis as salvage procedure. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case in the scientific literature of a recurrence of a squamous cell carcinoma in a forehead flap of a post-rhinectomy site; this peculiar clinical report adds knowledge in the complex field of nasal reconstruction.
