Özet

Rhinophyma is a benign disease of the nasal skin causing cosmetic and functional disturbances. Its etiology remains uncertain. Surgery is the most common treatment of choice. A 55-year-old man with severe rhinophyma was treated with total excision of the involved tissue and sebaceous glands, and the defect was reconstructed with full-thickness skin graft. No recurrence was seen during a two-year follow-up period, and cosmetic and functional outcome was satisfactory.
