title: [Rhinophyma--conservative or surgical treatment?].
abstract: On the basis of a case of their own, the authors report on the evolution of a rhinophyma. Therapeutic results obtained with conservative treatment were not satisfactory. In contrast, a combination of surgical removal of the skin changes and systematic treatment with isotretinoin was associated with good results. Contraindications and possible side effects must always be borne in mind.
