Involvement of sebaceous glands in pediatric diseases.

Abstract

The Author reviews the infantile disorders affecting the sebaceous gland except for acne. In most cases we are dealing with disorders of nevus/malformation type. The most common of the latter is sebaceous nevus, isolated or syndromic (Schimmelpenning syndrome, phacomatosis pigmentokeratotica, didymosis aplasticosebacea). Folliculoseba-ceous cystic hamartoma is a trichofolliculoma at its very late stage.
