Rhinophyma, a rare condition causing functional and cosmetic issues, can be successfully treated. Surgical removal using an electrosurgical knife under local anesthesia preserved vital structures, yielding satisfactory outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Rhinophyma is an uncommon, progressive facial disfigurement.
  • It can lead to significant functional and aesthetic impairment.
  • Limited literature exists on managing extreme rhinophyma cases.

Observation:

  • A 65-year-old male presented with a massive rhinophyma.
  • The tumor had rapidly enlarged over the preceding three years.
  • The patient desired surgical intervention for both functional and cosmetic reasons.

Findings:

  • Complete surgical excision of the rhinophyma was achieved using an electrosurgical knife.
  • The procedure was performed under local anesthesia.
  • Preservation of the alar cartilage was successful.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Both immediate and long-term results were highly satisfactory.

    • Implications:

    • Electrosurgery offers a viable and effective treatment for extensive rhinophyma.
    • Preserving anatomical structures like alar cartilage is crucial for functional outcomes.
    • This case highlights successful management of a rare and severe presentation, offering hope for similar patients.
