ABSTRACT
Two cases with basal cell carcinomas on the middle of the nose were treated by using subcutaneous pedicled nasolabial island flap. There were no partial or total flap losses in either case and neither of the cases had local recurrence during the follow-up period. The subcutaneous pedicled nasolabial flap should be considered to be an alternative to the paramedian forehead flap for the reconstruction of defects on the middle of the nose. In this article two cases in whom subcutaneous pedicled nasolabial island flap method was applied for the reconstruction of middle defects of the nose are presented in the light of the literature.

Lymphangiectasia is a benign condition with multiple dilated lymph vessels in the dermis. Vulvar localization is rare and mostly depends on disturbing the lymphatic flow. We present a patient with vulvar lesions and ipsilateral congenital lower extremity lymphedema. Surgical excision eliminated the lymphangiectasia and improved the appearance of the edematous vulva.

A 72-year-old man presented with an unusually severe case of rhinophyma. The pedunculated mass was widely excised and a skin graft from the medial upper arm was applied. A very satisfactory cosmetic result was obtained.

Haematoma of the vulva may occur following a trauma due to its highly vascular structure. We present a case of haematoma of the vulva caused by goring by a cow. The hymen and vaginal wall were also lacerated. Evacuation of the haematoma and repair of lacerated tissues were successfully performed.
