Abstract
It is well known that there develop on the face (rarely elsewhere) certain small yellow and slightly elevated noninflammatory lesions which are not milia but have a composition essentially like that of sebaceous glands. They are commonly regarded as sebaceous nevi. They progress slowly over a period of years and occur most frequently in persons over 40. Interest centers largely around their pathology. Some of the lesions are congenital and can be regarded only as nevi. Others, apparently developing later in life, on the basis of analogy with the history of pigmented moles may also be regarded as (sebaceous) nevi. However, the evidence of nevic origin is not nearly so convincing for such sebaceous lesions as for pigmented moles because the architecture of the former is clearly that of a highly organized structure which is normal to the skin—which is not true of pigmented nevi. A state of confusion
