Abstract
Rhinophyma is a rare disease that primary affects Caucasian men. It is thought to represent the most severe expression of acne rosacea with a proliferation of sebaceous glands and fibrous tissue. It adversely impacts both the appearance and the function of the nose. Many cases of rhinophyma have been reported in the western world; however, there has none been reported from Taiwan. We reported one case of a 74-year-old man who sustained a growing rhinophyma with nasal deformity for 2 years. He received total excision of tumor mass, and the nasal defect was restored with a full-thickness skin graft from the left supra-clavicle region. Thirteen months follow-up, the patient was satisfied with the surgical result.
