Abstract
Sebaceous gland hyperplasia refers to hypertrophic enlargement of the sebaceous glands. Though benign, its predilection for cosmetically sensitive areas such as the face make efficacious treatment options desirable. While multiple therapeutic modalities are available, sebaceous hyperplasia can be treated quickly and successfully with cryosurgery.
