RESUMO
ABSTRACT: Rhinophyma leads to severe facial deformities and significant social pressure for patients. Patients often seek medical intervention due to cosmetic defects and functional impairments, such as nasal congestion and airway collapse. Currently, there are numerous treatment modalities for rhinophyma, each with distinct advantages and disadvantages, leading to a lack of consensus in nasal vegetation management. Severe thickening in the nasal area can obstruct breathing through external nasal valve blockage, necessitating appropriate management for relief. This article presents a case study involving severe rhinophyma with respiratory obstruction that was successfully treated using incomplete resection followed by reconstruction to restore normal nasal contour. This not only achieved an upright position for nasal columella but also improved nasal contour to achieve normal appearance levels while completely relieving respiratory tract obstruction and enhancing patients' ventilation function. This method is easily performed without requiring additional expensive equipment, making it economically feasible even in ordinary medical centers while enabling patients to achieve a high quality of life.

BACKGROUND: Rosacea is a significant problem, affecting 5.5% of the world population. Currently used treatment techniques such as transfer flaps and implants are insufficient to meet the needs of many patients, which suggests that alternative approaches are needed. CASE REPORT: This report describes a case of rosacea complicated by giant rhinophyma treated with excision and closure by secondary intention and growth factor application. The patient was admitted to the Department of Dermatology at The First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University, Wenzhou, China, in July 2021, and underwent excision of the external nasal redundancy under general anesthesia. The postoperative wound was left open. The patient's wounds healed completely 2 months after surgery, and there was no recurrence at 6-month follow-up. The wounds recovered well, with only slight scarring. CONCLUSION: The positive outcomes for this patient suggest that wound excision and closure by secondary intention and growth factor application may be beneficial for patients with rosacea complicated by giant rhinophyma.

INTRODUCTION: The Flash-lamp pulsed dye laser (FPDL) is nowadays considered the most precise laser currently on the market for treating superficial vascular lesions. In this study, we gathered data from 10 years of experience regarding dye laser treatment of patients presenting vascular malformations such as telangiectasia, rhinophyma, port-wine stain, cherry and spider angioma and vascular tumours. METHODS: Subjects were enrolled from 2013 to 2023 based on the vascular anomalies they presented. They underwent different treatment sessions with the FPDL device. RESULTS: The age-range distribution by vascular anomaly confirmed that haemangiomas are typical in children while rhinophyma is a condition very common in older adults. A difference in sex distribution showed that pathologies such as telangiectasias typically affect women whereas rhinophyma is more frequent in men. Most of the treatments interested the face area but no permanent side effects were registered. CONCLUSIONS: Our 10 years of experience with FPDL demonstrated good results in a wide range of applications for the treatment of different vascular anomalies. The absence of long-term side effects and bearable pain during the treatment makes it a valuable solution for the resolution of benign tumours also in very young patients.

La rinofima es una patología que se caracteriza por presentar hipertrofia de las glándulas sebáceas con proliferación de tejido fibroso, donde la nariz toma un aspecto lobulado dando como resultado la deformidad de la punta nasal; es una forma de rosácea. La prevalencia de esta variedad de rosácea es de aproximadamente un 5-7% en la población y con predominio en el sexo masculino de la quinta a séptima década de vida. Su etiología no se conoce con exactitud. Se presenta el caso de un paciente masculino de 84 años, con antecedentes patológicos de hipertensión arterial e hipotiroidismo; su lesión inició hace 10 años, como una lesión eritematosa con presencia de telangiectasia a nivel de alas y punta nasal, no dolorosa. Se realizó tratamiento con bisturí frío y radiofrecuencia, se realizaron cortes transversales hasta dejar el lecho desprovisto del tumor y finalmente se usó radiofrecuencia en toda la superficie de la lesión restante. Se realizó el procedimiento ambulatorio sin complicaciones inmediatas o tardías
Rhinophyma is a pathology characterized by hypertrophy of the sebaceous glands with proliferation of fibrous tissue, the nose has a lobed appearance, as a result there is a deformity of the nasal tip; rhinophyma is a form of rosacea. The prevalence of this variety of rosacea is approximately 5-7% in the population and predominantly in males from the fifth to seventh decade of life, the etiology is not well known, however there are several predisposing genetic and environmental factors. We present the case of an 84-year-old male patient with a pathological history of arterial hypertension and hypothyroidism; his lesion began 10 years ago, as an erythematous lesion with presence of telangiectasia in the wings and nasal tip, not painful. Treatment was performed with a cold scalpel and radiofrequency, transverse cuts were made until the tumor was gone, and finally radiofrequency was used on the entire surface of the remaining lesion. The outpatient procedure was performed without immediate or late complications.

One of the frequent causes of a significant increase in the external nose, forming a persistent deformity of the face, as well as leading to a non-standard clinical picture is rhinophyma disease. The article considers some historical data, epidemiology, peculiarities of pathogenesis, as well as the basics of surgical treatment tactics along with possible preventive measures against rhinophyma. At present, the treatment of this pathology presents great difficulties. Despite the many surgical methods, rhinophyma is poorly treatable, often relapses and leaves no less noticeable disfigurement of the face in the postoperative period. In this regard, there is a constant search for new surgical methods, which has not only medical but also important social significance.

Rhinophyma is a disfiguring disorder that is characterized by an erythematous, hypertrophied, and inflamed lower two-thirds of the nose. Widely accepted as the severe form of acne rosacea, rhinophyma can result in functional, aesthetic, and psychosocial concerns that require treatment in a cosmetic fashion. Rosacea should be treated in its earliest manifestations to mitigate the progression towards rhinophyma; therefore, early detection and intervention is a crucial part of treatment. Little has been written on this subject in people of color. We present the first reported case of rhinophyma in a 62-year-old Fitzpatrick V female patient who was successfully treated with one session of fractional CO2 laser resurfacing. This case highlights the successful use of the fractional CO2 laser to treat rhinophyma in darker skin types (Fitzpatrick IV–VI) and underscores the potential for future use among patients of color.
