ABSTRACT
Abstract A 55-year-old male presented with an eight-month history of erythematous papules and plaques with demarcated areas of spared skin on his trunk, upper extremities, neck, and face. Grover's disease is a rare, acquired disorder of unknown origin, which is classically characterized by the appearance of erythematous papules on the upper trunk that are usually transient. As in the present case, there are reports of atypical disease, with facial involvement, pityriasis rubra pilaris-like lesions, and a more chronic course.

El sebaceoma es una neoplasia sebácea benigna inusual, que inicialmente se denominaba epitelioma sebáceo, lo que generaba confusión respecto a su biología tumoral, dado que histopatológicamente no presenta diferenciación suficiente como el adenoma sebáceo y tampoco es tan indeferenciado como el carcinoma sebáceo. Su diagnóstico precoz tiene gran relevancia, dado que, junto con el adenoma sebáceo y el carcinoma sebáceo, tienen una asociación directa con el síndrome de Muirr-Torre y, por lo tanto, con el desarrollo de cáncer de colon, endometrio, entre otros. En este punto, el uso de la dermatoscopia es muy importante. Considerando los pocos reportes en la literatura sobre la dermatoscopia en sebaceomas, presentamos dos casos clínicos en adultos, donde se destaca la presencia de estructuras amarillas homogéneas y vasos en corona o arboriformes.
Sebaceoma is an unusual benign sebaceous neoplasm, initially known as sebaceous epithelioma, which generated confusion regarding its tumor biology, given that it is histopathologically less differentiated than sebaceous adenoma, but with a higher differentiation than sebaceous carcinoma. Early diagnosis becomes relevant, given that together with sebaceous adenoma and sebaceous carcinoma, there is a direct association with Muirr-Torre syndrome and therefore the development of colon and endometrial cancer, among others. Because of this, the use of dermatoscopy becomes very important. Given the few reports in the literature on dermatoscopy in sebaceomas, we present two clinical cases, where the presence of homogeneous yellow structures and crown or arboriform vessels stands out.

Las cicatrices de acné, especialmente las de tipo atrófico, constituyen una complicación frecuente del acné vulgar que se asocia a un importante impacto psicológico. Múltiples terapias se han utilizado para mejorar su aspecto, sin embargo, ninguna ha demostrado ser completamente eficaz y segura. El tratamiento quirúrgico en acné cicatricial incluye técnicas como escisión elíptica, escisión o elevación por punch, subcisión y distintos tipos de láser. El objetivo de esta revisión es presentar la evidencia disponible respecto a las técnicas quirúrgicas y dispositivos láser utilizados en cicatrices atróficas de acné.
Acne scars, especially the atrophic type, are a common complication of acne vulgaris, which is associated with a major psychological impact. Multiple therapies have been used to improve its appearance, however, none has proven completely effective and safe. Surgical treatment includes surgical techniques such as elliptical excision, punch excision or elevation, subcision and different types of lasers. The aim of this review is to present the available evidence regarding the surgical techniques and laser devices used in atrophic acne scars.
