“…Although the reported data have been obtained mainly based on adults, a prevalence of rosacea in childhood also exists, although the exact age of onset of rosacea remains to be explored [ 6 , 7 ]. Furthermore, whereas most patients with rosacea are fair-skinned individuals [ 2 ], recent reports indicate that rosacea can develop in other skin phototypes as well, including in Asian and African populations [ 8 , 9 ].…”

Rosacea is a chronic cutaneous inflammatory disease that affects the facial skin. Clinically, rosacea can be categorized into papulopustular, erythematotelangiectatic, ocular, and phymatous rosacea. However, the phenotypic presentations of rosacea are more heterogeneous. Although the pathophysiology of rosacea remains to be elucidated, immunologic alterations and neurovascular dysregulation are thought to have important roles in initiating and strengthening the clinical manifestations of rosacea. In this article, we present the possible molecular mechanisms of rosacea based on recent laboratory and clinical studies. We describe the genetic predisposition for rosacea along with its associated diseases, triggering factors, and suggested management options in detail based on the underlying molecular biology. Understanding the molecular pathomechanisms of rosacea will likely aid toward better comprehending its complex pathogenesis.

“…The term rhinophyma was given by Hebra in 1845 from the Greek words rhis (nose) and phyma (growth) [2]. The diagnosis is based on the clinical characteristics and it is usually easy [1,2]. However, many other clinical characteristics such as draining, ulceration, early pain and rapid growth can be sign of a malignancy instead [3].…”

“…Rhinophyma is common in the western world affecting men in the fifth to seventh decades of life [12], but it is rare in blacks [1]. Allah described a case in Ivory Coast in 2009 [1]. It is the rareness in blacks that motivated a control biopsy in order to roll out a malignancy.…”

“…It is socially difficult to live with as the size of the nose can quadruple. It is relatively frequent in caucacians but rare in blacks [1]. The clinical diagnosis of rhinophyma is usually easy, but other skin affections can mimic it, such as malignancies.…”

The clinical features of rhinophyma can mask the existence or coexistence of a skin cancer. Many tumours can mimic rhinophyma. Many authors report cases of cancerisation of rhinophyma or the coexistence of rhinophyma and a cancer. Few authors have however reported cases of squamous cell carcinoma mimicking rhinophyma. We present the clinical case of a 48 year-old male with squamous cell carcinoma of the nose (tip of the nasal pyramid and vestibule), a histologic diagnosis after being confronted by an atypical clinical presentation of rhinophyma. Treatment consisted of radiation therapy and evolution was characterised by tumoral regression
