Sebaceoma is a benign tumor that originates from the sebaceous gland. It is a rare condition that is often misdiagnosed as basal cell carcinoma or sebaceous adenoma. Sebaceoma was first described in 1984 by Troy and Ackerman.
Symptoms and Signs[edit]
Sebaceoma typically presents as a solitary, slow-growing, yellowish or skin-colored nodule. It is most commonly found on the face, scalp, or trunk of middle-aged to elderly individuals. The size of the tumor can range from a few millimeters to several centimeters in diameter.
Diagnosis[edit]
The diagnosis of sebaceoma is made by biopsy and histological examination. The tumor is composed of basaloid cells and mature sebaceous cells. The presence of atypical cells and mitotic figures is suggestive of sebaceoma.
Treatment[edit]
The treatment of choice for sebaceoma is surgical excision. In some cases, Mohs surgery may be used to ensure complete removal of the tumor and preservation of the surrounding healthy tissue.
Prognosis[edit]
The prognosis for sebaceoma is generally good. The tumor is benign and does not metastasize. However, recurrence may occur if the tumor is not completely excised.
