Sebaceous carcinoma
Sebaceous carcinoma presents as a firm, usually yellowish, somewhat translucent nodule, most commonly on the face.
Histologically, there is a malignant tumor with sebaceous differentiation, although some contain additional features of basal cell carcinoma.
Metastases can occur.
Treatment:
- Surgical excision is the treatment of choice.
- Regular follow-up with regional lymph node assessment is recommended for at least 5 years.
