Abstract

A red nose is a semiological sign shared in common by a series of diseases. The differential diagnosis is important to establish. A careful clinical examination often allows to reach the precise diagnosis. A skin biopsy is required when erythema is accompanied by a cutaneous infiltration suggesting some granulomatous and tumoral processes.
