CUTANEOUS MALIGNANCIES OF THE NASAL PYRAMID: A 36-CASE RETROSPECTIVE STUDY OF RECONSTRUCTIVE OUTCOMES AT THE UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL CENTER OF TANGIER, MOROCCO

Background:Cutaneous malignancies of the nasal pyramid represent a significant public health burden in sun-exposed populations. Despite their frequency, management remains challenging due to the complex three dimensional anatomy and aesthetic importance of the nasal subunits. This study describes the epidemiological, clinicopathological, and therapeutic profiles of nasal pyramid tumors in a Moroccan cohort, with emphasis on reconstructive strategies. Methods:A retrospective, descriptive, and analytical study was conducted over 24 months (October 2020-October 2022) at the Department of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, Kortobi Hospital, Tangier. Thirty-six consecutive patients with histologically confirmed benign or malignant nasal pyramid tumors were included. Data were collected from medical records using a standardized extraction form and analyzed with Microsoft Excel 2019.
