Summary
Rhinophyma, a severe form of rosacea, can develop in middle-aged men with a history of alcohol consumption. Surgical repair effectively removed the cosmetic defect in this case.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- Surgical Oncology
Background:
- Rhinophyma is a severe manifestation of rosacea, characterized by nasal disfigurement.
- Long-term alcohol consumption is a potential contributing factor to rhinophyma development.
Purpose of the Study:
- To report a case of rhinophyma in a Nepali patient.
- To highlight the successful surgical management of rhinophyma.
Main Methods:
- Case presentation of a 55-year-old male with rhinophyma.
- Surgical excision of the cosmetic defect.
Main Results:
- The patient presented with rhinophyma and a history of rosacea and chronic alcohol intake.
- Surgical repair successfully corrected the cosmetic deformity.
Conclusions:
- Rhinophyma can occur in diverse populations and may be associated with alcohol use.
- Surgical intervention is an effective treatment for rhinophyma, improving cosmetic outcomes.
