Figures & data
Figure 1. (inlet) There is extreme thickening and lichenification of the nasal root as well as the upper two-thirds of the nose. Such features, especially when seen from sideways, closely mimic that of an “Elephant's Trunk”.
Figure 2. (a) On histology, we can see increased fibrosis with an apparent increased dermal thickness. (b) The main pathological findings are overt granulomatous response to foreign substances with mononuclear cells, lipid laden macrophages, and foreign-body giant cells. Spherioles of washed out artifact confirms former presence of an oily substance. Hematoxylin and eosin, original magnification (a) × 40; (b) × 400.
