Locally advanced nasal pyramid squamous cell carcinoma (LA-NPSCC) are rare malignancies. Their specific outcomes are unclear. Their management remains challenging with several controversies, in particular regarding the realization of total rhinectomy and the role of elective neck node treatment (1).
