Sarcoidosis.
A 54-year-old man presented with symmetric, bulbous, nodular enlargement of the nasal tip and alae nasi. At first inspection, the changes appeared to be consistent with rhinophyma, but a biopsy specimen showed noncaseating granulomata that were consistent with sarcoidosis. His laboratory, radiographic, and pulmonary function studies were consistent with systemic involvement.
