Abstract:
Rhinophyma is a chronic skin condition that predominantly affects the nose, characterized by thickening and fibrosis of the skin, leading to a bulbous, enlarged appearance. It is typically associated with rosacea, though its exact etiology remains unclear. Our department recently managed two cases of rhinophyma, which allowed us to explore the clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges, and treatment strategies. This report summarizes the key aspects of these cases and offers insights into the management of rhinophyma.
