Comments

A sebaceous adenoma may appear as a yellow papule or nodule, usually located on the face or scalp. These lesions, along with sebaceous epithelioma or sebaceous carcinoma, are often seen in association with Muir-Torre syndrome. The epithelium in this case is otherwise unremarkable with no evidence of carcinoma.
