Abstract:
Fordyce's disease is a condition known as ectopically located sebaceous glands on the vermilion borders of the lips and oral mucosa. Clinically, it is groups of minute, yellowish, globoid macules and papules. Histologically, it is characterized by sebaceous glands not associated with hair follicles. We report on a 40-year-old man with Fordyce's disease showing particularly wide distribution on the buccal mucosa and upper lip.
