| Summary: | Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common skin cancer. When located in the nasal region, reconstructing the defect resulting from its exeresis can become very challenging for the dermatological surgeon.

In both cases, the results were satisfactory, cosmetically and functionally. |
