Profuse sebaceous hyperplasia of the face induced by ciclosporin in a young man

Abstract

Sebaceous hyperplasia is a benign skin condition, presenting as disseminated umbilical yellowish-pink papules, usually on the face. Histologically, each lesion consists of a large multilobed sebaceous gland whose acini confluence in a central collector that corresponds to the clinical umbilication The condition may occur sporadically as a result of chronological aging and photoaging, in a familial form or as a manifestation of Muir-Torre syndrome. Also, more and more cases of eruptive multiple sebaceous hyperplasia secondary to cyclosporine have been described of which we describe an exceptional case.
