Rhinophyma – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/158901546

Rhinophyma is the most common presentation of phymatous rosacea and is characterised by hypertrophy of the nasal soft tissue due to variable combinations of fibrosis, sebaceous hyperplasia and lymphoedema. This may result in prominent distortion in the contour of the nose. Features of rosacea such as telangiectasia commonly co-exist.
