Özet

We reported a case of basal cell carcinoma on the flap which was initially treated with excision of squamous cell carcinoma and forehead flap reconstruction of nasal dorsum. After 8 years of reconstruction, basal cell carcinoma was developed on the flap surface. This may be due to a recurrence, or a second primary tumor, or an activation of a dormant tumor with perturbing factors like surgery. In this report, our purpose was to discuss the possible etiopathogenesis, most appropriate diagnostic procedures, and treatment protocol for a carcinoma of the flap which has been used to reconstruct the previous cutaneous cancer.
