Unilateral areolar sebaceous hyperplasia in a male

Abstract

reported a case in an immunosuppressed patient and suggested the role of decreased immune surveillance in the production of this lesion. Differential diagnoses to consider include acantholytic dermatoses such as pemphigus, Grover's disease, and Hailey-Hailey disease. These disorders are more extensive papular, vesicular, or papulovesicular eruptions. Acantholytic acanthoma can be differentiated from various acanthomas by the outstanding acantholysis. In focal acantholytic dyskeratosis and warty dyskeratoma, Darier-like alterations are more prominent; in epidermolytic acanthoma, epidermolytic hyperkeratosis are more prominent; in lichenoid keratosis, lichenoid hyperplasia; and in pale cell acanthoma, clear cell acanthosis. 1 Acantholytic acanthoma lacks the cellular dysplasia of acantholytic solar keratosis and the general configuration of an acantholytic seborrheic keratosis. 2 As acantholytic acanthoma is a benign solitary condition, simple excision is the treatment of choice.

Areolar Sebaceous Hyperplasia With Underlying Primary Duct Carcinoma of the Breast in a Woman With Donohue Syndrome (Leprechaunism)

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] We have also not found any case of association of areolar sebaceous hyperplasia and ipsilateral breast carcinoma. Glazebrook et al 33 described 2 cases in which breast carcinoma mimicked an areolar dermal lesion on sonography, but this appearance was due to dermal infiltration by the carcinoma, whereas the histopathologic study demonstrated no adnexal or epidermal alterations.…”

“…1 This type of phenomenon could be related to a hyperplasia of the Montgomery tubercles, which is common in women after delivery and during lactation. 34 However, many of the reported cases of areolar sebaceous hyperplasia appeared in men, 5,[7][8][9]32 and according to some, men lack Montogomery tubercles. 35 This is primarily the reason why some consider areolar sebaceous hyperplasia to be a malformation.…”

“…We have found 12 cases published in the literature, both in women and men. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] Most of these cases were not associated with any relevant pathology.…”

Rare Presentation of Areolar Sebaceous Hyperplasia.

“…The first case of sebaceous hyperplasia of the areola described in the literature was reported by Catalano in 1985 [9]. Since that date, few cases have been published; 10 cases in females and 6 cases in males in total [7,[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. Therefore, there is no consensus about the exact microscopic features of this entity.…”

“…In the course of the years, few other cases of bilateral and unilateral ASH in both genders have been reported and all on histological samples.…”
