Excise Malignant Lesion Nose, Lateral Procedure
Excision of a malignant lesion in the nose is a surgical procedure to remove a cancerous lesion located on the side of the nose. Before this procedure, patients will typically undergo a biopsy to determine if the lesion is malignant. Depending on these results, the doctor will help the patient to determine the optimal treatment plan. Lesion excision is performed by a skilled dermatologist who understands the patient’s unique condition.
When is This Procedure Necessary?
Malignant lesion excision is considered medically necessary when a doctor determines that a lesion in the nose is cancerous. This can be identified through physical examination, imaging studies, and biopsies. Once a malignant lesion has been identified, it is important that patients promptly seek treatment to prevent the cancer from spreading to nearby tissue.

What To Expect
Patients will be under local or general anesthesia to ensure their comfort throughout the procedure. Once the lesion is identified, the surgeon will use specialized tools to remove the lesion and any surrounding tissue that might have been affected. Reconstruction techniques may be necessary post-excision to restore both form and function to the nose. When the goal of the procedure has been achieved, the surgeon will close any incisions and the patient will be monitored as they wake up from the anesthesia.
In the days following the procedure, patients may experience some swelling and discomfort in the region of the excision. This is manageable through a course of anti-inflammatory pain medications and antibiotics. Patients will have a follow-up appointment to ensure all malignant material is removed. Patients must report any irregular symptoms to their doctor.
