ABSTRACT

Rhinophyma is the latest and advanced stage of rosacea. There is little known of its physiopathology although it’s attributed to a primary vascular anomaly of the face, including permanent edema of the dermis and a chronic inflammatory reaction. The treatment is primarily surgical with criotherapy or lasertherapy. We present a case of rhinophyma, treated with a combination of surgery and application of CO2 laser.
