A Case of Giant Premature Sebaceous Gland Hyperplasia Clinically Simulating Nevus Sebaceus / 대한피부과학회지

ABSTRACT

The occurrence of sebaceous gland hyperplasia commonly develops in elderly individuals. Clinical appearance is a papule with a central umbilication corresponding to the histological opening of sebaceous duct in the center. The usual size is 2 to 3mm in diameter. The histological features include hyperplastic mature sebaceous lobules grouped around a widely dilated sebaceous duct. We report a case of a 7-year old child with mental retardation and giant size of sebaceous gland hyperplasia which lead us to such clinical impressions as a nevus sebaceus
