AB  - A  65-year-old  man  noted  a  new  growth  on  his  face  for  1  year  (Figure  165-1A).  On  close  examination,  the  growth  was  pearly  with  a  few  telangiectasias.  The  donut  shape  and  presence  of  sebaceous  hyperplasia  scattered  on  other  areas  of  the  face  were  reassuring  that  this  is  likely  a  benign  sebaceous  hyperplasia.  To  confirm  our  clinical  impression,  the  lesion  was  examined  with  a  dermatoscope  (Figure  165-1B).  Vessels  extending  toward  the  center  of  the  lesion  from  the  periphery  but  not  crossing  the  center  (like  the  shape  of  a  crown)  were  seen.  This  along  with  the  yellow  color  of  the  sebaceous  glands  strongly  supported  the  diagnosis.  Because  the  patient  wanted  the  lesion  to  be  removed,  a  shave  biopsy  was  performed  to  completely  rule  out  basal  cell  carcinoma  (BCC).  The  patient  was  happy  with  the  cosmetic  result  and  relieved  that  the  pathology  showed  sebaceous  hyperplasia.
