Abstract

Familial sebaceous hyperplasia is a rare form of sebaceous hyperplasia and predictive late onset genome dermatoses. There are only 15 cases were reported since 1980. Familial variant is more diffuse and early onset. Some genetic diseases are associated with familial sebaceous hyperplasia such as Muir-Torre syndrome and anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia. We reported a case presented with leonine facies. The dermoscopic and histologic examination are compatible with sebaceous gland hyperplasia. Her family members have been diagnosed as sebaceous hyperplasia as well. She was treated by isotretinoin. The clinical is significantly improved.
