A n unusual lesion associated with obstruction of ectopic sebaceous glands of the retromolar mucosa is presented. Histologically, this was associated with mucus‐producing and respiratory metaplasia of the sebaceous ducts that also demonstrated microcyst formation. Sebaceous glands were hyperplastic. A review of the literature did not reveal a similar published example. J Periodontol 1994;65:186–188 .
