Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common
neoplasm in humans. Primary location in the floor of the nasal
vestibule is unfavourable due to both aesthetic and functional
reasons. In this paper, the authors present the case report of
a 65-year-old male patient with a tumor approximately 20 mm
in diameter, located on the right side of the nasal vestibule floor.
To achieve the best cosmetic and functional outcome, and based on
a literature review, a two-stage melolabial flap
reconstruction was chosen. The postoperative result was satisfactory.
