Prostaglandins (PG) are detected in virtually all organs and cells, whereas their enhanced release follows inflammatory mechanisms. PG synthesis, especially of PGE2, PGD2 and PGF2a, also takes place in epidermal keratinocytes as a result of arachidonic acid (AA) metabolism (Kondoh et al, 1985; Pentland and Needleman, 1986) and is differentially supported by specific enzymatic systems, the const...

INTRODUCTION Sebaceous hyperplasia is associated with immunosuppressive treatment with cyclosporin in male renal transplant patients. This has not been reported in the local context. CLINICAL PICTURE This is a report on 2 Chinese renal transplant patients on cyclosporin who developed sebaceous hyperplasia. TREATMENT AND OUTCOME One patient was treated with carbon dioxide laser. The result w...

Intraoral sebaceous hyperplasia is an uncommon yet benign finding in neonates. Familiarity with this process can prevent unwarranted procedures and infectious workup.

Here we describe the case of a 70-year-old male with Muir-Torre syndrome who had a recurrent sebaceous-gland carcinoma in the left lower extremity that demonstrated (18)F-FDG avidity. An (18)F-FDG-avid lower-extremity sebaceous-glan...

In 2019, our laboratory received case involving of external auditory meatus for pathological diagnosis. It malignant whole body. Data regarding dogís are few. This instructive veterinary diagnosis treatment. The dog recovered well after surgery at outpatient departme...

Sebaceous gland carcinomas (SGC) are highly malignant lid tumors which originate from meibomian glands and rarely from the gland of Zeis, sebaceous gland of caruncle, eyebrows and periocular skin. In many cases correct diagnosis of SGC is delayed because of its ability to masquerade as a variety of other ocular conditions. A forty year old male presented with a left upper eyelid swelling with a...

Cyclosporine-induced sebaceous hyperplasia (SH) is a well-documented entity, occurring in up to 30% of renal transplant patients treated with cyclosporine and has also been reported to occur following heart or hematopoetic stem cell transplantation (HCST). Cyclosporine has a stimulatory effect on undifferentiated sebocytes, resulting in the clinical and histologic findings in these patients. Se...
