Study on cases of nasal tumors treated by dermatologic surgery:analysis of 63 cases / 北京大学学报(医学版)

ABSTRACT

Objective: To study 63 cases of nasal tumors treated by dermatologic surgery, and analyze their generality and characters. Methods: The cases were analyzed with SPSS 10.0 and SAS6.12. Results: The average age of the patients was 46.92?18.63.The number of man was about equal to that of women. Most cases were basal cell carcinoma (42.9%). Nevus came second (38.1%). The other cases were benign tumors. The distribution of operational locations showed the character of nasal surgery. Operations of Alar occupied 52.4%,22.2% were on the dorsal and 15.9% on the tip. Other locations occupied 9.5%. Cases of primary close occupied 69.8%. Cases applying complex close were 30.2%. Statistic analysis illustrated that primary close was different from complex close with distribution of operational locations. The area of defects between primary close and complex close was also different. At the same time, the differentiation of applying complex close was obvious between malignant tumors and benign tumors. Conclusion: Skin cancers and benign tumors usually occur on the nose, so it is very important to master the techniques of plastic surgery to repair the defects of nose, besides removing tumors perfectly by the classical way of dermatologic surgery, Mohs Micrographic Surgery.
