Abstract

Sebaceous carcinoma is a highly aggressive, uncommon potentially lethal tumour arising from the sebaceous glands in the skin. An advanced case of sebaceous carcinoma with distant metastasis is even rarer as most of them present in the periocular area and are easily visible. Here we present an elderly woman who presented with two exophytic masses over the right orbital region and neck that was confirmed on histopathological examination to be sebaceous carcinoma.
