Sebaceous adenoma

Sebaceous adenoma is a cutaneous condition characterized by a slow-growing tumour usually presenting as a pink, flesh-coloured, or yellow papule or nodule.[1]: 662 [2]

Significance

Sebaceous adenomas, in isolation, are not significant; however, they may be associated with Muir-Torre syndrome, a genetic condition that predisposes individuals to cancer.[3] Thus, identification of a sebaceous adenoma may be a life saver.

It is not the same with "adenoma sebaceum" by F. Balzer and P.E. Menetrier (1885[4]). The term "adenoma sebaceum" is a misnomer for facial angiofibromas associated with tuberous sclerosis complex.[5][a]

It is also linked to Lynch Syndrome.

  1. ^

    Balzer and Menetrier (1885) described the microscopic appearance of the facial papules as “adenoma sebaceum,” thought to be benign tumors of sebaceous glands, although the skin lesions are actually angiofibromas.
