Dermoid cysts are congenital hamartomas probably deriving from anomalous developmental inclusion of embryonic epidermis along embryonic cleft closure lines.1 Their most common sites are the lateral ends of the eyebrows and along the midline in the nasal root; the neck; and the sublingual, sternal, perineal, scrotal, and sacral areas.1 Often seen from as far medially as the mid third of the brow...

– What are the best ways to measure sebum composition and quantity? – Which are the epidermal and which are the sebaceous components of skin surface lipids? Of the major components of the surface film, triglycerides and cholesterol are of both epidermal and sebaceous origin. In contrast, wax esters and squalene are only derived from the sebaceous glands. Can changes in sebaceous gland function ...

Alopecia, accompanied by skin dryness, is one of the distressing side effects often occurring in chemotherapy-treated cancer patients. Little is known of the effects of chemotherapy on sebaceous glands, despite their importance in hair follicle homeostasis. This study investigates sebaceous gland morphology and the response of SZ95 sebaceous gland cell line to doxorubicin (DXR) treatment. The m...

Sebaceous cell carcinoma of the skin is a rare malignancy of the skin appendages. Most commonly noticed in the orbital region. Extra orbital sebaceous cell carcinoma is extremely rare. The aggressive behavior of this tumor is still a matter of controversy. We present a case of sebaceous cell carcinoma in scalp region in young women.

The human sebaceous gland undergoes both extrinsic and intrinsic ageing. The latter is associated with morphological changes and alteration in the sebaceous gland activity. The high androgen-dependent sebum secretion in neonates falls during childhood, starts to rise again during puberty and reaches its maximum in young adults. While the number of sebaceous glands remains the same during life, ...
