title: Sebaceous cell adenoma. Rare intra-oral occurrence of a tumour which is a frequent marker of Torre's syndrome.
abstract: A case of sebaceous cell adenoma of the buccal mucosa in a 65-yr-old woman is described. The patient exhibited no manifestations of Torre's syndrome (cutaneous sebaceous neoplasms and visceral carcinomas). Only four sebaceous adenomas of the oral mucosa have been previously reported. The literature on neoplasms of sebaceous glands and Torre's syndrome is reviewed. The tumour had not recurred 18 months after surgical excision.
