Abstract:
We report a case of areolar sebaceous hyperplasia involving the right mammary areola in a 49-year-old male. Areolar sebaceous hyperplasia, an uncommon entity first described by Catalano and Ioannides in 1985, is characterized clinically by yellowish thickening of the areolae and histopathologically by large numbers of mature hyperplastic sebaceous lobules connected to the skin surface through short, hairless infundibular canals. Since its original description, only two additional reports have been published. To our knowledge, our patient is the first reported of areolar sebaceous hyperplasia in a male.
