Abstract

This is a case report about a 62-year-old gentleman who presented at the Otolaryngology department with a rhinophyma. Rhinophyma is a swelling of the soft tissue of the nose due to sebaceous gland hypertrophy, lymphoedema and fibrosis. Photography of the patient's condition highlights not only the features of the disease but is useful when comparing the contours and shape of the nose after surgical excision. Images of a relatively large rhinophyma are useful not only for their visual but also their educational value.
