ABSTRACT
An 83-year-old man presented with an unusually severe case of rhinophyma. Giant rhinopyhma
is very rare in literature. The giant lesion was widely excised using sharp surgical
incision and coblation assisted surgery. Using direct coblation to the nasal dorsum
may cause edema in the surrounding tissue. There was minimal edema in surrounding
tissue using this technique. A full thickness-skin graft was applied after excision.
Cosmetic and functional postoperative results were satisfactory.
