Abstract

The case report of an 84 years patient is described, to whom a total removal of the nasal organ was carried out about 5 years ago - at "Conrado Benítez" Cancer Hospital  in Santiago de Cuba - due to an epidermoid carcinoma of the nasal appendix, reason why he was referred to the Oralmaxillofacial Prosthetics Rehabilitation Center of this province to be rehabilitated. A total absence of the nose was observed in the extraoral physical examination that simulated a leonine facies, with well defined healed borders. The patient's biggest concern was to hide his defect, so a nasal silicone prosthesis was placed  to improve his aesthetics and functionality.
