Rhinophyma and coexisting occult skin cancers.

BACKGROUND: Although coexistent tumors have been reported in patients with rhinophyma, few reports have described the coexistence of rhinophyma and an occult infiltrating squamous cell carcinoma ( SCC). OBJECTIVE: Preoperatively and during rhinophymaplasty, recognition of subtle changes can suggest an underlying malignancy. METHODS: A large infiltrating SCC was noted during electrosurgical rhinophymaplasty. Mohs micrographic surgery was performed to clear the tumor. RESULTS: The patient was tumor-free with no evidence of recurrence at 1-year follow-up. CONCLUSION: In the evaluation of changing rhinophyma or subtle changes in tissue noted during rhinophymaplasty, physicians must consider the possibility of an underlying malignancy.[1]
