ABSTRACT

Rhinophyma is a nose skin disease consisting on a hypertrophy of the local sebaceous glands which leads to a characteristic deformation. It presents with skin hypertrophy, chronic inflammation and increase of the vascular tissue, with multiple telangiectasias y comedones, all of which causes a deformed tip of the nose. It more often affects the male sex and can get to a malignancy. Two patients affected by rhinophyma are presented who were assisted at the maxillofacial service of the General Teaching Hospital Dr Gustavo Aldereguía Lima, Cienfuegos. The surgical technique used in both cases is described. It is a rare disease therefore it is considered of interest for study and dissemination.
