The treatment of rhinophyma with excision and full-thickness skin graft
Abstract
Abstract
Rhinophyma is a rarely seen benign, chronic disease of nasal skin, characterized by nodular growing of sebaceous glands that affect the distal half of the nose and cause several functional and aesthetic problems. This uncommon disease is especially seen in Caucasian males between the ages of 45-60 and the incidence is 12 times higher in men than in women. There are different methods for treatment of rhinophyma, and surgical treatment is accepted as gold standard. In this study, we reported a case with rhinophyma that was followed and surgically treated with excision and full-thickness skin graft in Cumhuriyet Universty School of Medicine Hospital.
Keywords: Rhinophyma, surgical excision, full-thickness skin graft
Özet
Rinofima burun derisinin nadir görülen, benign, kronik bir hastalığıdır. Burun distal kısmında sebase glandların progresif nodüler hipertrofisiyle karakterize bir hastalıktır ve çeşitli estetik ve fonksiyonel sorunlara neden olmaktadır. Nadir görülen bu hastalık özellikle 45-60 yaş aralığındaki Kafkas ırkı erkeklerinde izlenmektedir ve insidansı erkeklerde bayanlara oranla 12 kat daha fazladır. Rinofima tedavisinde farklı metodlar uygulanmakta ve cerrahi tedavi altın standart olarak kabul edilmektedir. Bu çalışmada biz Cumhuriyet Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Hastanesinde takip ve cerrahi olarak eksizyon ve tam kat deri grefti ile tedavi edilen bir olguyu bildirdik.
