    abnormal growths originating from sebaceous glands

    Sebaceous tumors, also known as sebaceous neoplasms, are abnormal growths that originate from the sebaceous glands, which are responsible for producing the oily substance called sebum that lubricates the skin and hair. These tumors can be benign, such as sebaceous adenomas, or malignant, like sebaceous carcinoma, and they may appear as small, yellowish bumps on the skin. Early detection and diagnosis are crucial, especially for malignant forms, as they can be aggressive and may require surgical removal or other treatments.
