Abstract
Rhinophyma is considered as a benign tumor of the exterior of the nose. It is a disfiguring soft tissue hypertrophy of the nasal skin, predominantly seen in older, white men. It is believed to be the final stage of acne rosacea. The main presentation of the patients with rhinophyma is the cosmetic disfigurement, although it may also cause nasal obstruction and visual disturbance. The rhinophyma is mainly treated by surgical intervention, which exists in different forms, but all will provide almost similar cosmetic results. Our presentation constitutes one case of rhinophyma treated by paring with a sharp scalpel. The case showed satisfied cosmetic results with a complete healing of the raw area without any skin graft reconstruction.
