Rhinophyma is a nosographical form that has always attracted attention, even among non-experts, owing to the marked aesthetic damage it often causes. Several types of surgery have been proposed for its treatment in an attempt to elaborate a technique that is easy to apply and guarantees satisfactory results in clinical and aesthetic terms. After a short review of the general aspects of the pathology, the authors illustrate the case of a patient with rhinophyma treated with a full thickness dermo-epidermic graft, and emphasise that this surgical solution, provided that the indications are correct, is still a valid alternative.

Abstract
Rhinophyma is a nosographical form that has always attracted attention, even among non-experts, owing to the marked aesthetic damage it often causes. Several types of surgery have been proposed for its treatment in an attempt to elaborate a technique that is easy to apply and guarantees satisfactory results in clinical and aesthetic terms. After a short review of the general aspects of the pathology, the authors illustrate the case of a patient with rhinophyma treated with a full thickness dermo-epidermic graft, and emphasise that this surgical solution, provided that the indications are correct, is still a valid alternative.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
