Abstract
- Sebaceous epithelioma is a rare skin appendage tumor with sebaceous differentiation and appears as yellow papules, nodules, or plaques, most commonly in areas with large numbers of sebaceous glands, such as the face. Histopathologically, sebaceous epitheliomas are composed of circumscribed nodules consisting predominantly of basaloid cells and foci of sebaceous differentiation. We report a case of sebaceous epithelioma which appeared as a yellowish to erythematous patch on the forehead in a 55-year-old woman.
