Abstract

A seventy-three-year-old man presented with a complaint of enlarged nose. The diagnosis was made as rhinophyma and the mass was excised under local anesthesia. The involved tissues including the col- umellar, alar, and dorsal nasal skin were removed by preserving the perichondrium and periosteum. A full- thickness skin graft was obtained from the supra- clavicular region and transferred to the defect area with a tie-over dressing. An acceptable texture and color adaptation of the skin graft was obtained at the end of one-year follow-up period.
