Context:
- Rhinophyma is a benign, progressive nasal skin disease.
- It is characterized by sebaceous gland hyperplasia and tissue deformation.
- Often considered the end stage of acne rosacea.
Purpose:
- To provide a comprehensive overview of rhinophyma.
- To discuss clinical and histopathologic findings.
- To review surgical and other treatment options.
Summary:
- Rhinophyma presents with thickened, irregular nasal skin and nodular deformation.

Etiology
Possible causes of this condition include high blood pressure, trauma, low humidity, upper respiratory tract infections, allergies, foreign bodies, nasal inhalation of corticosteroids or illicit drugs, excessive use of decongestant nasal sprays, facial or nasal surgery, anatomic malformation, tumors, or systemic...

Etiology
It often arises from persistent viral or bacterial infections affecting sinuses and tonsils.
Additional contributing factors include inadequate dental hygiene, mouth breathing, recurring tonsillitis, allergic rhinitis, laryngopharyngeal reflux, and exposure to smoke, chemicals, and other environmental pollutants. Allergic reactions to pollen, mold, and pet dander, chronic cough, excessive voice usage,...
