Abstract 

Sebaceous adenoma is a tumour only rarely located in the oral cavity. Less than 10 cases have been reported. Sebaceous adenoma represents 0.5–0.7% of all monomorphic adenomas. Sebaceous adenoma is mainly constituted by two types of cells, undifferentiated peripheral basaloid cells and cells showing different degrees of sebaceous differentiation located in the center of the lesion. The differential diagnosis must be made with sebaceous hyperplasia. Sebaceous adenomas are benign, and they do not recur after a conservative excision.
