A Case of Rhinophyma / 대한이비인후과학회지

ABSTRACT

Rhinophyma is a disfiguring soft tissue hypertrophy of the nose. It is an uncommon disease that primarily affects Caucasian men in the fifth to seventh decades of life. Many treatment methods have been advocated, often with acceptable success, but there appears to be no one modality that is universally endorsed. We present a case of a 70 year old male who was treated with dermabrasion for rhinophyma in the nose.
