OBJECTIVE: To   present   a   naso-glabello-frontal   advancement modification of   the   dorsal advancement  (Rintala)  flap  for reconstruction  of  an  unusual  case  of  chondroid  syringoma occurring at the nasal tip.
METHODS:
  Design: Case Report
  Setting: Tertiary Government Training hospital
  Patient: One
RESULTS: A 23-year-old man who presented with a nasal tip mass initially diagnosed as a benign adnexal tumor underwent excision and reconstruction with a naso-glabello-frontal advancement flap modification of the dorsal advancement flap with median brow lift. The procedure resulted in nasal tip reconstruction with minimal scars, including a horizontal upper medial brow margin scar  that  eventually  became  less  apparent.  Final  histopathology  revealed  a  rare  benign  mixed tumor, chondroid syringoma.
CONCLUSION: The naso-glabello-frontal advancement flap is a one-stage procedure that can be used to reconstruct such a cutaneous nasal defect after tumor excision. The modification observes nasal aesthetic subunits and may have a better aesthetic outcome than traditional rotational or advancement flaps.
