The exact pathogenesis of rhinophyma is unknown, but potential factors include a combination of neurovascular disorders, innate immune responses, and the presence of microorganisms. The article presents current data on the treatment of rosacea, in particular, rhinophyma. A clinical case of a 67-year-old patient with a combination of papulo-pustular subtype of rosacea and rhinophyma is presented. The high effectiveness of the therapy with systemic isotretinoin was demonstrated.</p>rhinophymerosaceasystemic isotretinoinLidoseринофимарозацеасистемный изотретиноинLidose[Tan J, Berg M.
