A Case of Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Nasal Cavity Treated With Total Rhinectomy

Abstract

Squamous cell carcinoma of the nasal cavity is a relatively rare cancer. Five-year recurrence-free survival rates have a large range, which may be due to the small patient population available to study. Recurrence rates vary based on the treatment regimen and aggressiveness of the surgical approach. Total rhinectomy is not often performed due to its invasive nature and extensiveness of reconstruction required afterward. This report will cover a patient who presented with squamous cell carcinoma of the left nasal vestibule and was treated with total rhinectomy and radiation therapy.
