Keywords: Blepharophyma, Cheek, Erythema, Eye, Eyelid, Facial lymphoedema, Lymphoedematous rosacea, Nose, Phyma, Rosacea lymphoedema, Solid oedema
Morbihan disease was first described in 1957 by French dermatologist Robert Degos, and is characterised by a firm oedema on the upper portion of the face. Although generally considered as a refractory and chronic form of rosacea, Morbihan disease may exist in the absence of other features of rosacea, and thus may represent a separate disease process.
