Adenoma Sebaceum

Adenoma sebaceum is a misnomer because these growths are angiofibromas rather than tumors of the sebaceous gland tumors.

Adenoma sebaceum is the most commonly recognized cutaneous marker of tuberous sclerosis; the lesions appear on the face during middle to late childhood or adolescence in approximately 80% of patients. These red-brown or flesh-colored, smooth, glistening, telangiectatic 1–10?mm papules may extend from the nasolabial folds to the cheeks and chin.
