[Gigantic nasal tumor].
A space-occupying lesion, which had been growing on the external surface of the nose of a 57-year-old man for 5 years was considered to most likely be an angiofibroma after surgical removal and histological examination, but the final clinical diagnosis was clearly a rhinophyma. This discrepancy is relevant for surgical treatment, because the vessel-rich tumor tended to substantial intraoperative bleeding.
