Dear SirMy father, aged 73 had a lesion at the ala of his nose which has grown bigger in size and started bleeding occasionally.  I consulted a deramatologist and he had the lesion excised and sent for biopsy.  The biopsy report has come as tricoepithelial carcinoma-low grade.  Dermatologist has referred him to a surgical oncologist.  I would like to know further details about this as carcinoma as far as I know is a type of cancer.  Please clarify me about this condition and what further action would be needed in his case. Thanks. Nalini.
Madam, it is a type of epithelial malignancy n depending upon the extent requires wide local excision with reconstruction by an advancement flap. Depending on the histopathology report he may require to take radiotherapy later.
