The speaker presented a compelling case report of a patient with giant rhinophyma, highlighting the significant physical and psychological toll of the condition, including nasal obstruction and social embarrassment. Dr. Rajendran elaborated on medical management options for early cases, including topical treatments and systemic antibiotics, but stressed that surgical intervention is often necessary for advanced cases like the one presented.
The patient was successfully treated with CO₂ laser ablation and scalpel excision, achieving both functional improvement and cosmetic restoration. The speaker detailed challenges such as intraoperative bleeding and emphasized postoperative care for optimal healing.
During the discussion, moderated by Dr. T. M. Nagaraj, faculty members engaged in a multidisciplinary dialogue on surgical approaches, potential recurrence, and differentiation from nasal tumors. The session concluded with a focus on the importance of early diagnosis and collaborative care in managing rhinophyma, especially in its severe forms.
