    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Medical Genetics

    Background:

    • Tuberous sclerosis is a genetic disorder characterized by the development of tumors in various organs.
    • Common dermatological manifestations include facial angiofibromas (adenoma sebaceum), shagreen patches, and periungual fibromas.
    • Neurological and intellectual impairments are also frequently associated with tuberous sclerosis.

    Observation:

    • A 27-year-old woman with tuberous sclerosis presented with a severely deforming rhinophyma, a condition not previously documented in association with this disorder.
    • The rhinophyma developed over one year, causing significant disfigurement and distress to the patient and her family.

    Findings:

    • The case represents the first documented instance of rhinophyma occurring in the context of tuberous sclerosis.
    • Surgical intervention was considered, involving a review of literature, patient description, surgical technique, skin grafting considerations, microscopic findings, and postoperative course.

  • Differential diagnosis and associated findings were carefully evaluated.

    • Implications:

    • This case expands the known spectrum of dermatological presentations in tuberous sclerosis.
    • It underscores the importance of considering unusual cutaneous findings in patients with known genetic syndromes.
    • Further research may elucidate potential pathogenetic links between tuberous sclerosis and rhinophyma.
