Abstract: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common type of skin cancer, which arises from the basal layer of the epithelium. It is a slow growing tumor and has a low metastatic potential, it accounts for 70–80% of all cutaneous malignancies in the head face and neck region .Defects near nasal tip and ala of the nose are one of the most difficult site to cover in a single stage, bilobed flap is reported to be used very effectively to close the defect in these areas. This article reports a case of basal cell carcinoma involving the ala of the nose which was excised and the reconstruction was done using bilobed flap.
