Abstract
The article describes a case of regression of rhinophyma against the background of photodynamic therapy of basal cell carcinoma of the skin of the nose tip. After a single session of photodynamic therapy using a systemic photosensitizer based on chloride (photoran), there was a significant decrease in the size of the nose (rhinophyma), the disappearance of erythema, puffiness, and the formation of the initial contours of the face of this anatomical area. Despite the marginal recurrence of basal cell carcinoma after six months at the site of previous treatment and a repeat session of photodynamic therapy, after one year of dynamic follow-up, remission of basal cell carcinoma and regression of rhinophyma persist. The described method of treatment is atraumatic, easily reproducible, well tolerated by patients, safe and allows patients with basal cell carcinoma in combination with rhinophyma to achieve complete remission of both diseases.
