Well-Circumscribed Localized-Rhinophyma as a Very Rare Presentation of Rhinophyma
Authors
Abstract:
Introduction: Rhinophyma is an uncommon subtype of rosacea, the clinical diagnosis of which is straightforward. However, localized, especially well-circumscribed, rhinophyma is a very rare condition, which requires a paraclinical assessment to be accurately diagnosed. Case Report: We report a 48-year-old male patient who presented with a well-circumscribed and dark red tumoral mass of 28 mm in diameter and smooth consistency in the right nasal ala. The patient had no former and concomitant characteristic skin lesions on the other part of his face. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry assessments documented the diagnosis of rhinophyma. Conclusion: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of well-circumscribed localized rhinophyma. This lesion can be treated by CO2 laser in a fast and efficient manner with esthetically satisfactory outcome and no significant complications.

A Rare Case of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis Presenting as Rhinophyma
Cutaneous leishmaniasis(CL) is referred to a group of diseases because of the varied clinical presentation, ranging from small cutaneous nodule to wide spread mucosal destruction. The nose is rarely involved by CL in even in endemic region. In this report we describe a rare rhinophymatous presentation of CL from a non-endemic region which was diagnosed by fine needle sampling and treated with M...

Rhinophyma is a common condition in the west of Scotland. Various surgical approaches have been described, most of which rely heavily on electrocautery, heated scalpel, or laser coagulation for hemostasis, resulting in thermal injury and substantial risk of scarring. The authors describe their experience with the "triple approach" for the surgical treatment of rhinophyma, consisting of tangenti...

Rhinophyma (rhis: nose, phyma: growth) is a rare, disfiguring disease characterized by a progressive hypertrophy of the softtissues of the nose with its increased volume, mainly in the lower half, and often associated to an end-stage of severe acne rosacea. The cause of rhinophyma is unknown, but it is believed to be the end stage of acne rosacea. The diagnosis is easy to ascertain based on the...

full textSquamous cell carcinoma masquerading as rhinophyma.
A rhinophyma lesion can mask the existence of coexisting occult skin cancers, and many types of tumors can mimic a rhinophyma. Although several coexistent malignant tumors have been reported in patients with rhinophyma, few reports have described the coexistence of rhinophyma and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Herein, we report on a case of SCC in a 45-year-old man who presented with ...
