Abstract		A 61 year-old male patient with recurrent episodes of reddish-violet erythema and oedema of the forehead, nose, periocular regions, eyelids and cheeks, prevalently on the left side of the face, was followed for a period of 9 years. Pachydermatous sequelae developed in the affected areas. The chronic course of the manifestation, the nonspecific histological picture and the lack of response to treatment suggested a diagnosis of Morbihan's disease. The peculiar features of the condition and its resemblance to rosaceous lymphoedema are discussed.
