| description | Introduction: Rhinophyma is a disease of which four clinical classifications associated with the severity of dermal involvement have been described. Even so, there are cases in which they are not classifiable by any of the alternatives.
Objective: To show an unclassifiable patient, according to the preexisting classifications of rhinophyma.
Clinical case: A 68-year-old male patient is presented, with white skin, with a diagnosis of rhinophyma, who in the physical examination shows nasal, nodular, asymmetric thickening, with normal-colored skin, presence of telangiectasias on all its surface and compromise of more than one nasal anatomical subunit.
Conclusions: The case presented cannot be framed in any of the items of the existing classifications, which shows the need to design a new, more exhaustive and inclusive rhinophyma classification for patients with this diagnosis. |
