Abstract:
Sebaceous hyperplasia is a benign condition characterized by an overgrowth of sebaceous glands, often presenting as small, soft, yellowish papules on areas rich in sebaceous glands, such as the face. While the condition is harmless, it can mimic other dermatological conditions, such as basal cell carcinoma. This case report describes a 71-year-old female with sebaceous hyperplasia presenting as wart-like lesions and whiteheads on the forehead and cheek regions. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis, revealing lobules of sebaceous glands arranged around a central duct in a fibrous stroma.
