Abstract: (1309 Views)

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common skin cancer. The nature of BCC is slow growth, locally invasive and rarely impacts other areas of the body. Because exposure to sunlight for a long time is the main cause of BCC, it usually occurs in the head and neck area, and the nose has the highest risk of involvement. Most patients with BCC are treated with surgery, leading to poor cosmetic results. Nasal defects can be reconstructed using flap surgery or using extraoral prostheses or a combination of these two methods. If the lesion is large, surgical reconstruction is limited. In addition, radiotherapy before surgery delays the wound healing process and increases the risk of failure. Therefore, when we cannot use surgical methods for reconstruction, we can use prosthetic reconstruction methods. The advantages of prosthetic reconstruction include better color matching, comfort, no need for a graft donor site, and lower cost. The present report describes the clinical techniques of fabricating a nasal prosthesis in a patient with total rhinectomy and upper lip resection due to basal cell carcinoma.
