“…Surgery thus represents the gold standard treatment of this disease [6]. A wide range of ablative and excisional techniques to treat rhinophyma have been described, including CO 2 laser surgery, argon laser surgery, dermabrasion, cryosurgery, scalpel excision, razor blade excision, resection with heated loops and knives as well as electrosurgery [2,9,10,11,12,13,14].…”

Background: Rhinophyma is a progressive nasal deformity resulting from hyperplasia of the sebaceous glands and connective tissue, with a negative effect on quality of life. Partial-thickness shave excision has been used for the treatment of rhinophyma, but the mid- and long-term efficacy of the treatment is unknown. Objectives: We analysed the clinical outcomes of shave excision in patients with rhinophyma in our centre between 2005 and 2009. Methods: The entire nose was shaved using a scalpel while under tumescent anaesthesia. The clinical assessment was scored using a novel Rhinophyma Severity Index. Results: Thirty-three patients with rhinophyma and shave excision were recruited for the study. A mid-term follow-up examination was possible in 23/33 (69.7%) patients. After a mean follow-up of 37.4 ± 13.2 months, 21 (91.3%) patients showed an improved Rhinophyma Severity Index (3.3 ± 1.1 to 1.7 ± 0.9, p < 0.0001). All patients reported a high level of satisfaction after surgery (excellent or good result). Eleven (47.8%) patients developed rhinophyma recurrence. Conclusion: Shave excision under tumescent anaesthesia is an effective treatment for rhinophyma. The treatment is associated with high patient satisfaction and minimal side effects. A possible recurrence of rhinophyma must be addressed, however, while obtaining informed consent.

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common skin tumor of the white race. There are four types including nodular, pigmented, superficial and morpheaform. The most common type is nodular type. Rhinophyma, represents the end stage of rosacea, and is caused by a progressive hypertrophy of sebaceous glandular tissue, connective tissue, and blood vessels. Besides, fibrosis, follicular plugging and telangiectasia are seen. Although rhinophyma is not a premalignant lesion, this relationship is considered by reports of malignancies on the background of rhinophyma. Various malignancies, including BCC, SCC, angiosarcoma and sebaceous carcinoma, have been reported to coexist or to imitate rhinophyma. We herein, report a 83 year patient presented with rhinophymatous lesion which was BCC originally, and emphasized the importance of careful examination of the skin and diagnostic biopsy of uncertain areas.

“…It is a disease characterized by the progressive nodular hypertrophy of sebaceous glands and soft tissues at the distal part of the nose [1]. The surface of the nasal skin becomes erythematous and telangiectatic, and the pores grow large [2]. Surgical treatment options in cases with rhinophyma are surgical excision, electrocautery, cryosurgery or laser ablation [3,4].…”

Rhinophyma is a rarely seen benign, chronic disease of nasal skin, characterized by nodular growing of sebaceous glands that affect the distal half of the nose and cause several functional and aesthetic problems. This uncommon disease is especially seen in Caucasian males between the ages of 45-60 and the incidence is 12 times higher in men than in women. There are different methods for treatment of rhinophyma, and surgical treatment is accepted as gold standard. In this study, we reported a case with rhinophyma that was followed and surgically treated with excision and full-thickness skin graft in
