BACKGROUND Non-melanoma skin cancer particularly basal cell carcinoma is the most common human malignancy in Caucasians. The majority of these tumours (80-90%) arise on the sun exposed parts of face. Lesions of the nose are the most challenging for the surgeon, because of the aesthetic feature. OBJECTIVE The aim of the study is to evaluate results of surgical treatment of nose skin cancer. METHODS Authors analysed retrospectively 23 cases of skin cancer of the nose. Demographic data, aesthetic units, surgical methods and complications as well as aesthetic and functional results of treatment were noted. RESULTS 23 people (9 male and 14 female) with 23 skin lesions were included to the study. The mean age was 72 ± 13 years. Majority of tumours infiltrated more then 1 nose aesthetic subunit. The most common surgical method of reconstruction was bilobed flap. Most of patients presented good aesthetic and functional outcome. CONCLUSIONS The most important stage of treatment is proper qualification to surgical treatment - selection of reconstruction method, what establish radicalness of resection and good aesthetic and functional results.
