RESUMEN
Se describen distintos aspectos del rinofima: historia, etiopatogenia, histopatología, epidemiologia, clínica, diagnósticos diferenciales, tratamientos y pronóstico. Se hace hincapié en que es una enfermedad localizada en la nariz asociada a desórdenes generales, y que repercute en las áreas psicológica y social. Se presenta un caso clínico operado con cirugía plástica. Los autores plantean una hipótesis sobre la etiopatogenia y la fisiopatología de la enfermedad; y consideran a los tratamientos de rinofima como paliativos y no curativos
Different aspects of rhinophyma were described: history, etiopathogeny, histopathology, epidemiology, clinical, differential diagnoses, treatments and prognosis. It is emphasized that it is a localized disease in the nose associated to general disorders, and that it brings psychological and social problems. We present a case operated with plastic surgery. The authors present a hypothesis about the etiopathogeny and pathophysiology of the disease and consider rhinophyma treatments as palliative and non-curative.

Several popular Shakespearean characters are dramatically portrayed on stage with striking physical appearances caused by medical and dermatologic disorders. Shakespeare's colorful portrayal of their maladies not only helps to entertain audiences but also serves to define the characters' personalities and behavior. Shakespeare himself emphasizes this point in his play Richard III, in which the notorious English king states that his evil nature is a direct result of his hideous spinal deformity. This contribution discusses four other famous Shakespearean characters: Bardolph, who appears to be suffering from rosacea; the Witches of Macbeth, who have beards; Juliet, who has green sickness (chlorosis); and Falstaff, who is morbidly obese. In all of these cases, their skin disorders and medical maladies serve to highlight their underlying nature.

Throughout the 1800s, clinical illustrations helped to formalize what was then the recently developed field of dermatology. Knowledge of skin diseases was given new dimension as artists and clinicians alike strove to accurately document the physical characteristics of numerous dermatoses. Introduction of novel processes and refined techniques advanced the clinical use of disease images. The increasingly superior quality of these images aided in the early distinction between rosacea and acne. This article highlights these illustrative contributions in dermatology, and includes key images that serve as a road map to early clinical understanding of skin diseases.
