Abstract

Skin cancers are a large group of all diagnosed face cancers. Surgical treatment of tumours with a margin of healthy tissue around the face is a challenge for dermatology, oral and maxillofacial surgery, plastic surgery and reconstructive prosthetics. The location of cancer in an exposed location has significant effects on the psyche of the patients. Removal of a part or all of the nose and multi-stage reconstruction requires the cooperation of many professionals throughout the treatment period. This paper describes the procedure of treatment from diagnosis to definitive surgery. The aim of this article is intended to present the method of interdisciplinary cure of basal cell carcinoma located on the wing of the nose.
