EXTRAOCULAR SEBACEOUS CARCINOMA ARISING FROM NEVUS SEBACEOUS

Abstract

Sebaceous carcinoma is a relatively rare cutaneous tumor that is most commonly derived from the sebaceous glands located in periorbital area. The extraocular occurrence of this tumor is very rare. We report a case of an 85 years old woman who presented with a slowly enlarging mass on the right temporal region. Histological examination of the lesion revealed a malignant sebaceous carcinoma occurring in conjunction with nevus sebaceous. The lesion was surgically excised completely.
