Sebaceoma, also known as a sebaceous epithelioma, is a fleshy or yellowish small bump in the skin.[1] Usually there is just one, most frequently on the face or neck.[2] The presence of more than one may be a sign seen in Muir-Torre syndrome.[1]
Like sebaceous carcinoma and sebaceous adenoma, it also originates from an oil gland in the skin.[1] Treatment is by cutting it out.[1] Generally the outcome is good.[1] There have been rare reports of it transforming into a cancer.[1]
It is rare, but generally occurs in adults older than 70 years of age.[1] Females are affected more frequently than males.[1]
