ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Rosacea is a significant problem, affecting 5.5% of the world population. Currently used treatment techniques such as transfer flaps and implants are insufficient to meet the needs of many patients, which suggests that alternative approaches are needed.

CASE REPORT: This report describes a case of rosacea complicated by giant rhinophyma treated with excision and closure by secondary intention and growth factor application. The patient was admitted to the Department of Dermatology at The First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University, Wenzhou, China, in July 2021, and underwent excision of the external nasal redundancy under general anesthesia. The postoperative wound was left open. The patient's wounds healed completely 2 months after surgery, and there was no recurrence at 6-month follow-up. The wounds recovered well, with only slight scarring.

CONCLUSION: The positive outcomes for this patient suggest that wound excision and closure by secondary intention and growth factor application may be beneficial for patients with rosacea complicated by giant rhinophyma.
