Reflectance-Mode Confocal Microscopy for the Diagnosis of Sebaceous Hyperplasia In vivo

Clinical, dermoscopic and reflectance confocal microscopy features of sebaceous neoplasms in Muir–Torre syndrome

“…Sebaceous lobules were composed by clusters of ovoid cells with dark nuclei and bright, highly refractile glistening cytoplasm. These have been previously described in sebaceous hyperplasia, 31 where they appeared well circumscribed and more clearly connected to sebaceous ducts. Sebaceous lobules were delimited by a rim of epithelial cells, corresponding to basaloid cells.…”

Use of handheld reflectance confocal microscopy for in vivo diagnosis of solitary facial papules: a case series

“…Sebaceous hyperplasia can clinically and dermoscopically mimic BCC; HH‐RCM may be used to readily differentiate between them with the finding of morulae‐like cluster in SH, described by Propperova et al …”

“…Sebaceous hyperplasia can clinically and dermoscopically mimic BCC; HH-RCM may be used to readily differentiate between them with the finding of morulae-like cluster in SH, described by Propperova et al 17 . Similar RCM features were observed by Moscarella et al 18 when imaging three sebaceous adenomas in patients with Muir-Torre syndrome.…”

Hiperplasia sebácea cutânea: estudo piloto para a correlação da doença com hormônios androgênios

“…Since it affects exposed areas such as the face, it is a frequent cause of complaint in clinical dermatology; however, for the dermatologist, the principal concern is to differentiate between this condition and basal cell carcinoma. 4,8,13,14 In order to study sebaceous hyperplasia, the etiopathogenesis of which is yet to be established, the present protocol was based on studies correlating the appearance of sebaceous hyperplasia lesions with the effect of androgens. 2,[5][6][7]26 In the present study, serum androgen levels were evaluated in female patients with sebaceous hyperplasia in order to analyze whether changes occur in the levels of these hormones in patients with this skin disease.…”
