We report a rare case of otophyma.
A case report of otophyma and a review of the current literature concerning otophyma and the more common rhinophyma, are presented.
A 46-year-old male presented with slow growing fleshy growths on both auricles which were excised. A diagnosis of otophyma was made. Although rosacea is more common, otophyma and other 'phymas' are thought to be the end stage of the rosacea spectrum of skin disease. However, unlike rhinophyma, otophyma is rarely seen and as a result there is little in the English language literature regarding it. Consequently, the management of otophyma is largely based on previous experiences with rhinophyma.
To our knowledge this is the first case report of otophyma in the otolaryngology literature and only the second described in the English language literature. This case demonstrates the difficulties faced in diagnosing this rare condition and our successful management of this case.
我们报告一例罕见的耳部酒渣鼻样增生病例。
本文呈现了一例耳部酒渣鼻样增生的病例报告，并对当前有关耳部酒渣鼻样增生及更常见的鼻赘的文献进行综述。
一名46岁男性双侧耳廓出现生长缓慢的肉质肿物，肿物被切除。诊断为耳部酒渣鼻样增生。尽管酒渣鼻更为常见，但耳部酒渣鼻样增生及其他“瘤样病变”被认为是酒渣鼻谱系皮肤病的终末期。然而，与鼻赘不同，耳部酒渣鼻样增生很少见，因此英文文献中关于它的内容很少。因此，耳部酒渣鼻样增生的治疗很大程度上基于以往治疗鼻赘的经验。
据我们所知，这是耳鼻喉科文献中首例耳部酒渣鼻样增生的病例报告，也是英文文献中第二例被描述的病例。该病例展示了诊断这种罕见疾病所面临的困难以及我们对该病例的成功治疗。
