A Case of Sebaceous Gland Carcinoma on the Nose
Abstract
-
Sebaceous gland carcinoma on thc extraocular area is an uncommon, locally malignant appendageal tumor of the skin, which is characterized by marked tendency of local recurrence after excision and not infrequent metastasis. Usual clinical lesion of sebaceous gland carcinoma on the extraocular area is a firm, raised, nontender tumor which is pink to reddish color in gross appearance and yellowish color in cut surface. Histopathologically, this tumor shows the characteristic pleomorphic sebaceous cells, which formed various shaped & sized irregular lobules and extended to deep tissues. The authors report a case of recurred sebaceous gland carcinoma, developed on the nose of a 61 year old man for 3 years duration. There was no evidence of metastasis.
