Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To present a naso-glabello-frontal advancement modification of the dorsal advancement (Rintala) flap for reconstruction of an unusual case of chondroid syringoma occurring at the nasal tip.

METHODS:

            Design: Case report

            Setting: Tertiary Government Training hospital

            Patient: One

RESULTS: A 23-year-old man who presented with a nasal tip mass initially diagnosed as a benign adnexal tumor underwent excision and reconstruction with a naso-glabello-frontal advancement flap modification of the dorsal advancement flap with median brow lift. The procedure resulted in nasal tip reconstruction with minimal scars, including a horizontal upper medial brow margin scar that eventually became less apparent. Final histopathology revealed a rare benign mixed tumor, chondroid syringoma.

 

CONCLUSION: The naso-glabello-frontal advancement flap is a one-stage procedure that can be used to reconstruct such a cutaneous nasal defect after tumor excision.  The modification observes nasal aesthetic subunits and may have a better aesthetic outcome than traditional rotational flaps or advancement flaps.
