Partial nosectomy(nasal planectomy) and skin reconstruction as recomended treatment option for squamous cell carcinoma in young feline. Squamous cell carcinoma of the nasal planum is a disease commonly seen in older cats. This type of neoplasm is caracterized by thick, rough, scaly patches that may crust and bleed, or form skin lesions and erythema. The tumor can be slowly progressive and locally invasive with a low rate of metastasis to the remote tissues and lymph nodes. Diagnosis and treatment are based on physical examination and confirmed by histopathological evaluation after tissue sampling. Prognosis is usually good in completely resected tumors.
