Abstract

The right nasal ala had been destroyed and was diagnosed as morpheaform basal cell carcinoma associated with multiple familial trichoepithelioma (Brooke-Spiegler syndrome). After extended resection, the right buccal and nasal ala defect was reconstructed with a flow-through type anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap, which achieved good functional and cosmetic results.

Keywords: Brooke-Spiegler syndrome; Morpheaform basal cell carcinoma; antero lateral thigh (ALT) flap; multiple familial trichoepithelioma; nasal ala reconstruction.
