Abstract

Basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma are the most common malignant tumors of the face. The paramedian forehead flap is the standard reconstructive choice for closing large-sized defects of the distal half of the nose. A melolabial interpolation flap and bilobed or trilobed flaps are another option. The dorsal nasal (Rieger) flap is suitable at this location for the closure of small-sized defects, particularly when they are located medially. Here we are discussing an ulcus rodens case we observed in an elderly patient which was treated with a Rieger’s flap.
