AB A  65-year-old  man  noted  a  new  growth  on  his  face  for  1  year  (Figure  159-1).  On  close  examination,  the  growth  was  pearly  with  a  few  telangiectasias.  The  doughnut  shape  and  presence  of  sebaceous  hyperplasia  scattered  on  other  areas  of  the  face  were  reassuring  that  this  may  be  nothing  but  benign  sebaceous  hyperplasia.  To  reassure  the  patient  and  to  remove  the  lesion  a  shave  biopsy  was  performed  to  rule  out  basal  cell  carcinoma  (BCC).  The  patient  was  relieved  when  the  pathology  result  was  in  fact  sebaceous  hyperplasia.  Additionally,  he  was  pleased  with  the  cosmetic  result.
