Oral Fordyce granules are usually not biopsied because they are readily diagnosed clinically, but they are often seen as incidental findings of mucosal biopsies of the buccal, labial and retromolar mucosa. The granules are similar to normal sebaceous glands of the skin but lack hair follicles and almost always lack a ductal communication with the surface. The glands are located just beneath the overlying epithelium and often produce a local elevation of the epithelium. Individual sebaceous cells are large, with central dark nuclei and abundant foamy cytoplasm. Classification
Sebaceous glands are normal  structures of the skin but may also be found ectopically in the mouth, where they are referred to as oral Fordyce granules or ectopic sebaceous glands. On the foreskin they are called Tysons glands, not to be confused with hirsuties coronae glandis.When they appear on the penis, they are also called penile sebaceous glands. Treatment
Most doctors consider this a normal physiological phenomenon and advise against treatment. Prognosis
Fordyce spots are completely benign and require no treatment. They occur in 70 to 80 percent of adults. Often their presence is considered normal anatomic variance rather than a true medical condition. Epidemiology
This variation of normal anatomy is seen in the majority of adults. It is estimated about 80% of people have oral Fordyce spots, but seldom are granules found in large numbers. They are not usually visible in children, and tend to appear at about age 3, then increasing during puberty and become more obvious in later adulthood. They are more prominent in males.
