Discovered another rosacea mimic, Morbus Morbihan, which according to a recent
report, "is a rare complication of rosacea, consisting of a persistent
lymphoedema of the upper part of the face. It has typically a chronic course,
unspecific histopathological findings and an extreme refractoriness to therapy."

The report goes on to say, "All patients showed facial skin alterations typical
for rosacea. 4 out of 5 subjects underwent a lid biopsy to confirm the diagnosis
of Morbus Morbihan, one patient refused it." The report concluded:

"Morbus Morbihan can be diagnosed only after excluding other conditions leading
to chronic lid swelling."
