Introduction:-BackgroundSebaceous hyperplasia is a common disorder of sebaceous gland that occurs mainly in newborns [1, 2] and ageing adults, with no particular predilection according to gender [3]. The majority of the cases reported by literature are localized in the area with the largest sebaceous glands; like the face [4], the chest [5] or the back. Less common localizations were described, like the hyperplasia of Tyson glands in the clitoris [6] or the hyperplasia of Montgomery glands in the areola [7]. The diagnosis of this condition is made by its clinical and histological aspects. This lesion is made of asymptomatic pink or yellow papules, sometimes forming a thickening of the skin [8]. Herein, we describe a case of a bilateral areolar sebaceous hyperplasia (ASH) in a 56-year-old woman. Case reportA 56-year-old woman reported the appearance of bilateral recurrent papules of the areolae and nipples with a yellow discoloration of this area's skin and sometimes the presence of black comedones.
