Article Synopsis
- Bilobed flaps are the preferred reconstruction method for nasal basal cell carcinoma (BCC) excision defects smaller than 15 mm, but they can lead to trapdoor deformity post-surgery.
- A case study of a 44-year-old woman revealed that after developing a trapdoor deformity following bilobed flap reconstruction, her scar was effectively improved using various laser treatments over several weeks.
- The study highlights that while BCC is usually treatable, concerns about the cosmetic outcome can arise, and factors like skin thickness and surgical technique may contribute to the risk of deformities like trapdoor scars.

It is typically encountered upon pre-existing lung damage.

A lung biopsy to differentiate lesions should be considered, especially when the response of different tumors to treatment is distinct.
