Abstract:
We present herein a case of sebaceous hyperplasia in a 55-year-old male, who showed multiple asymptomatic yellowish papules on the forehead and the cheeks. Histopathologic examination of a papule revealed numerous sebaceous lobules grouped around several enlarged sebaceous ducts. Three weeks of oral administration. of isotretinoin 40 mg per day brought marked improvement.
