摘要

Primary intranasal basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a rare tumour that presents a therapeutic challenge. Here we present two cases illustrating the lateral alarotomy to gain access to an isolated BCC involving only the intranasal lining. Successful intranasal access was achieved in both cases using the alarotomy technique. We also review other methods of repair for the isolated intranasal lining defect. The presentation of intranasal BCC purely as an isolated entity without cutaneous involvement is rare, and our surgical approach via alarotomy allows optimum visibility for tumour resection.
