Orthovoltage x-ray therapy effectively treated two patients with severe rhinophyma and basal cell carcinomas. This radiation modality shows promise for managing rhinophyma independently.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Oncology
  • Radiation Oncology

Background:

  • Rhinophyma is a severe, disfiguring skin condition.
  • Basal cell carcinomas are common skin cancers.
  • Treatment options for severe rhinophyma can be limited.

Observation:

  • Two patients presented with significant rhinophyma and concurrent basal cell carcinomas.
  • Both conditions were treated simultaneously using orthovoltage x-ray therapy.

Findings:

  • Complete resolution of both rhinophyma and basal cell carcinomas was achieved in both patients.
  • Orthovoltage x-ray therapy proved effective in controlling both dermatological conditions.

Implications:

  • Orthovoltage x-ray therapy is a viable treatment option for patients with rhinophyma and basal cell carcinoma.

  • The potential of orthovoltage x-ray therapy for treating rhinophyma alone warrants further consideration.
