Syringocystadenoma PapilliferumA Case Series

Syringocystadenoma papilliferum is also known as papillary syringadenoma. This is a warty tumour of the scalp, neck and face that occurs at any age. These lesions usually have an adjacent nevus sebaceous or adjacent basal cell carcinoma. Here, the authors present case series of eight cases, four male and four female patients, with varied presentations at different sites: scalp,upper eyelid, left arm and back, aged 11 years to 68 years, mean age being 45 years. Most of the cases had a clinical diagnosis of sebaceous horn and one was diagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma. All of them had a histopathological diagnosis of Syringocystadenoma Papilliferum

Sebaceoma of the lip originating in Fordyce’s spot – A rarity

Introduction: Sebaceomas are relatively rare benign neoplasms differentiating towards sebaceous glands. These dermal neoplasms present as solitary papule or nodule. The age of presentation is sixth to ninth decade with a female preponderance. They may be associated with underlying visceral malignancies. We present a case of sebaceoma of the lip. This case is being presented because of its rare site of occurrence. Case report: A seventy five year old lady presented with a single, well defined, painless and progressively enlarging flesh coloured papule over the upper lip of two months duration. No systemic signs or symptoms suggestive of visceral malignancy were present. Clinical diagnosis of papilloma was proferred. Histopathological examination of the excision biopsy revealed nests and lobules of basaloid cells and few mature sebocytes seeming arising from central hyperplastic sebaceous gland. Final diagnosis of sebaceoma was rendered. Conclusion: Sebaceoma is an adnexal tumour typically affecting the face and the scalp. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case to be reported in literature in the lip. The possible origin of sebaceoma in the present case could be ectopic sebaceous glands (Fordyce’s spots) which occur in increasing frequency in elderly individuals, especially in the li
