abstract: Various methods are available to reconstruct the nose following the excision of malignant tumors. The skillful use of these techniques can have excellent functional and aesthetic results and can quite frequently be performed immediately following tumor excision. Emphasis must be placed, however, on the adequacy of tumor removal, and care must be taken to be certain that recurrence is not likely. Aesthetic considerations should never compromise cure.
