Sebaceoma of the lip originating in Fordyce’s spot – A rarity

Sebaceomas are uncommon benign dermal lesions [1]. Troy and Ackerman coined the term sebaceoma to describe what was earlier known as sebaceous epithelioma, two decades ago [1,2]. Sebaceoma is a benign sebaceous tumour with >50% basaloid cell content. Sebaceoma is usually not suspected clinically due to its rarity [1]. Clinically, it presents as solitary papule or nodule on the face and scalp affecting elderly individuals with a female preponderance [2]. Sebaceoma may be associated with visceral malignancies. Sebaceoma is characterised by variably sized lobules composed of basaloid cells along with single or clustered mature sebaceous cells, and exhibit sebaceous ductal differentiation [3]. Fordyce’s spots are ectopically located sebaceous glands, more common on the vermillion border of the upper lip [4].
