Adenoma of the sebaceous glands is a benign tumor of the skin that develops from the glandular or ductal epithelium [1] of the sebaceous glands and, as a rule, is characterized by slow growth. Usually it looks like pink, skin-colored, or a yellowish papule or nodule [2] [3] .

Content
Pathological significance
By itself, the adenoma of the sebaceous glands does not have much pathological significance (the prognosis for surgical treatment is favorable). However, it may be associated with Muir-Torre syndrome , a hereditary disease that predisposes to cancer [4] . Thus, timely diagnosis of adenoma of the sebaceous glands may be a decisive factor for saving the patient's life.
This pathology is not associated with tuberous sclerosis .
Treatment
Surgical treatment. With adequate removal of the neoplasm, relapse does not occur (observation period is one year) [5] .
