A sebaceous adenoma, a type of adenoma, a cutaneous condition characterized by a slow-growing tumor usually presenting as a pink, flesh-coloured, or yellow papule or nodule.[1]:662[2]
Significance
Sebaceous adenomas, in isolation, are not significant; however, they may be associated with Muir-Torre syndrome, a genetic condition that predisposes individuals to cancer.[3] It is also linked to hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (Lynch Syndrome).
It is not the same as "adenoma sebaceum" by F. Balzer and P.E. Ménétrier (1885).[4] The term "adenoma sebaceum" is a misnomer for facial angiofibromas associated with tuberous sclerosis complex.[5][lower-alpha 1][lower-alpha 2]
