MUNOZ, Adisson; DUQUE, Alejandro y LOPEZ, David. Reconstruction of aesthetic nasal sub-units in the post-surgical management of skin cancer. rev.colomb.cancerol. [online]. 2015, vol.19, n.2, pp.103-110. ISSN 0123-9015. https://doi.org/10.10167j.rccan.2015.02.003.
Objectives: To describe the clinical, histopathological and demographic characteristics of patients who underwent reconstruction of aesthetic nasal sub-units in the post-surgical management of skin cancer in a Latin American reference center. Methods: Case series of 82 patients who were reconstructed using a surgical method. Results: The population consisted mainly of women (63.4%). Melanoma was present only in males, and squamous cell carcinoma only in women. Basal cell carcinoma was present in 59.3% of women. The most common subtype found in the resection specimen was nodular basal cell carcinoma with a micronodular component (18.6%). Conventional surgery was the main type of tumor resection technique. The main method used for the reconstruction of the nasal units was skin grafting. Conclusions: Given the complexity in the nose reconstruction as part of the integrated treatment of skin cancer, it is important to show the experience that an oncology plastic surgery group has developed in the management of these patients.
