ABSTRACT

Skin cancer (basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma) is the most frequent malignancy in humans. The treatment of choice is complete surgical excision with free tumor margins. The method of reconstruction depends on the site and size of the tissue removed.
We present a 45 year-old female with an infiltrating basal cell carcinoma on the tip of her nose. We excised it and a large defect was repaired with the malar butterfly flap achieving our goals: functionality and good cosmetic outcome.
