Abstract
- Sebaceous hyperplasia usually presents as solitary or multiple, small, yellowish papules on the face, particularly on the forehead. It occurs most commonly in middle-aged individuals and rarely in early adult life. It has also been reported in the vulva, penis, and areola. Histological examination reveals a single greatly enlarged sebaceous gland composed of numerous lobules grouped around a centrally located, wide sebaceous duct. We report a case of a 26-year-old man with sebaceous hyperplasia in the ventral surface of the distal penile shaft, an unusual site.
