Sebaceous hyperplasia primarily affects older patients in areas with high concentrations of sebaceous glands, such as the face, head, and neck. [3] It typically manifests as yellowish-colored skin with small papules that are often surrounded by telangiectatic blood vessels, also known as "crown vessels," and a central dell that is in line with the origin of the lesions, which is a dilated ...
Peyer's patches (or aggregated lymphoid nodules) are organized lymphoid follicles, named after the 17th-century Swiss anatomist Johann Conrad Peyer. [1] They are an important part of gut associated lymphoid tissue usually found in humans in the lowest portion of the small intestine, mainly in the distal jejunum and the ileum, but also could be detected in the duodenum.
An accessory salivary gland is ectopic salivary gland tissue with a salivary gland duct system. [3] The most common location of accessory salivary gland tissue is an extra major salivary gland in front of the parotid gland. It is typically about 3 cm or less in size, and drains into the parotid duct via a single tributary. [3]
