A Case of Sebaceous Carcinoma
Abstract
-
Sebaceous carcinoma of the eyelids is rare and is usually seen in the elderly persons. The meibomian glands of the tarsus are the frequent sites of origin. The characteristic feature is a firm, painless nodule on the upper eyelid, We present a typical case of the sebaceous carcinoma in 60 year-old female. The patient had 1 * 1cm sized, hard, fixed, non-tender mass with bleeding on the right lateral canthus of 3~4 months duration. The histopathology of the lesion showed irregular sized lobules in the dermis with invasive growth to the surrounding stroma. Many fat containing sebaceous celles are seen in the center of the lobules.
