RESUMO
@#<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>OBJECTIVE:</strong> To present a naso-glabello-frontal advancement modification of the dorsal advancement (Rintala) flap for reconstruction of an unusual case of chondroid syringoma occurring at the nasal tip.<br /><strong>METHODS:</strong><br /><strong> Design:</strong> Case Report<br /><strong> Setting:</strong> Tertiary Government Training hospital<br /><strong> Patient:</strong> One<br /><strong>RESULTS:</strong> A 23-year-old man who presented with a nasal tip mass initially diagnosed as a benign adnexal tumor underwent excision and reconstruction with a naso-glabello-frontal advancement flap modification of the dorsal advancement flap with median brow lift. The procedure resulted in nasal tip reconstruction with minimal scars, including a horizontal upper medial brow margin scar that eventually became less apparent. Final histopathology revealed a rare benign mixed tumor, chondroid syringoma.<br /><strong>CONCLUSION:</strong> The naso-glabello-frontal advancement flap is a one-stage procedure that can be used to reconstruct such a cutaneous nasal defect after tumor excision. The modification observes nasal aesthetic subunits and may have a better aesthetic outcome than traditional rotational or advancement flaps.</p>
