Background: Rhinophyma represents an advanced stage of rosacea, chronic cutaneous inflammatory disorder of the pilosebaceous unit with unknown etiology and primarily affects the central face, predominantly the nose region. Significant psychosocial effects are associated with the disease. The diagnosis is made according to the physical exam and pathohistological findings. Rhinophyma occurs more often in middle aged and older male patients. Objective: The aim of this article was to present the cause of rhinophyma, clinical characteristics, surgical treatment and postoperative results. Case report: We present the case of a 60-year-old male patient with rhinophyma, who was successfully treated surgically at the Clinic of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. Conclusion: There is no gold standard treatment for rhinophyma. However, surgical treatments, such as scalpel excision, dermabrasion, cryosurgery, argon laser, carbon dioxide laser, and electrocautery, have been used.
