“…Skin cancer has a predilection for the head and neck region, occurring more in males, in the seventh decade of life and in the leukoderma population. Its most prevalent ethology is sun exposure and the most prevalent types are basal cell carcinoma, being responsible for 80% of all non-melanoma skin cancer, followed by squamous cell carcinoma [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. In the present case report, the patient is also leukoderma and presented with a basal cell carcinoma in the nasal region, but she is in her sixth decade of life and is a woman.…”

“…The increase in life expectancy of the world population raised reflexes in the elderly population's health, among them, the growing incidence of skin cancer. Such dysfunction may appear at any age but it usually reaches its highest rates from 60 years old, being 66.9 the average age and the gender distribution exhibited prevalence of 37.2% of females and 62.3% of males [1,2].…”

Basal cell carcinoma is the most common type among skin cancers. It occurs in basal cells and is primarily caused by sun exposure. It mainly affects elderly people, mainly man, in exposed areas of the body and is diagnosed through biopsy. The choice of treatment depends on the type, size, location and depth of penetration, the patient’s age, health conditions and potential aesthetic outcome. The present study aims to evidence, through a case report, the aesthetic and functional importance of the cutaneous transplant technique in cases of tissue loss in the face region by Basal cell carcinoma. A 56-year-old female patient, leukoderma, attended the Maxillofacial Surgery and Traumatology service of the Federal University of Pernambuco, complaining of asymmetry in the nasal dorsum region, with differentiated staining and raised edges. In anamnesis time she reported having suffered sun exposure for long periods. The patient underwent an incisional biopsy and subsequently, with a diagnosis of basal cell carcinoma, a resection of the lesion followed by skin autografting. Good acceptances of the skin flap as well as excellent aesthetic result were attained. The autogenous grafts use has shown satisfactory aesthetic results for remaining coverage after the lesion excision.
