Sebaceoma - (pronounced) (seh-BAY-shee-OH-moo) A rare, benign (noncancerous) tumor that forms in an oil gland in the skin. Most sebaceous glands appear as yellow, orange, or skin-colored bumps that appear on the head or neck. They tend to grow slowly and are painless. Sebaceomas can be found in people with a rare inherited condition called Muir-Torre syndrome (MTS). People with MTS have an increased risk of developing multiple types of cancer. Sebaceoma is most common in older adults. Also called sebaceous epithelioma
