Lymphoedematous rosacea is an uncommon cutaneous condition characterised by a hard, non-pitting oedema restricted to the forehead, glabella, upper eyelids, nose, and cheeks. This condition is also known as rosaceous lymphoedema, persistent oedema of rosacea, chronic upper facial erythematous oedema and Morbihan disease. Its relationship to other forms of rosacea is unclear. It is however clear that the problem arises when chronic low grade facial inflammation overwhelms the capacity of the lymphatic system to drain tissue fluid normally. The oedema typically worsens slowly over months to years and may pose a significant management problem.
