Sebaceous adenoma of the salivary gland is a rare tumor comprising 0.1% of all salivary gland neoplasms and less than 0.5% of salivary adenomas. Histologically, sebaceous adenomas are benign neoplasms consisting of sebaceous cells arranged in nests forming acinar and duct-like structures. Oncocytic metaplasia may also occur in some areas. We describe a case of sebaceous adenoma in the submandibular gland. Under a presumptive diagnosis of sialadenitis/sialolithiasis, the patient was administered multiple courses of antibiotics; however, these were not effective. Excisional biopsy resulted in a diagnosis of sebaceous adenoma. A 1-year follow-up showed no recurrence.

Sebaceous gland hyperplasia is a benign cutaneous entity commonly seen in older men. Occasionally, it can develop in young patients on immunosuppression with cyclosporine or in adolescent boys in the peripubertal age group. It is extremely rare in young children with no reports of eyelid involvement.

Aims: Sebaceous neoplasms constitute a group of adnexal tumours, including sebaceous adenoma, sebaceoma and sebaceous carcinoma. Although mismatch repair deficiency may be observed, the nature of the genetic alterations contributing to the development of most of these tumours is still unknown. In the present study, we describe the clinical, microscopic, and molecular features of eight sebaceomas with GRHL gene rearrangement.

Synchronous colorectal carcinoma is having more than 1 primary carcinoma detected in a single patient at the same time or within 6 months of tumor diagnosis. Metachronous colorectal carcinoma is the presence of more than 1 primary carcinoma detected consecutively in a single person after a set time interval. Patients with Lynch syndrome and Muir-Torre syndrome (a subset of Lynch syndrome) inherit a germline mutation in 1 of the mismatch repair (MMR) genes.

Gardner syndrome (GS) is a subtype of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) characterized by colorectal polyps, multiple osteomas, soft tissue tumors, and specific oral manifestations, such as jaw osteomas. GS is caused by mutations in the APC gene, resulting in a nonfunctional protein. This study reports a comprehensive clinical evaluation and genetic analysis of a Tunisian family affected by GS.
