ABSTRACT
Surgical treatment for aggressive intranasal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) requires a multidisciplinary team approach to ensure optimal patient outcomes. Surgical procedures for the removal of intranasal malignancies may include rhinectomy, palatectomy, and maxillectomy. These procedures leave patients with significant facial defects that are corrected with staged surgical reconstructions or applications of facial prostheses. This article describes the etiology of intranasal SCC, discusses treatment options, and presents a case study that chronicles the events from diagnosis through rehabilitation of a patient undergoing rhinectomy, partial bilateral maxillectomy, and partial palatectomy.
