Abstract
-
There is not always a sharp distinction among the sebaceous neoplasms including sebaceous adenoma, sebaceoma, and sebaceous carcinoma. Sebaceous carcinoma is a malignant tumor derived from the adnxal epithelium of sebaceous glands. It may exhibit a variety of histological growth patterns and diverse clinical presentations. Herein we report a 65-year-old man presenting with a 0.5cm skin-colored papule on the left cheek, which shows the histopathological features of well-differentiated sebaceous carcinoma.
