Abstract

Extra ocular sebaceous carcinoma is a rare carcinoma of the skin known to have difficulties of diagnosis because of its polymorphism of clinical and histopathological findings. His prognosis depends of the precocity of the diagnosis. This neoplasm is aggressive in 29%, lymph node and visceral metastasis aren't rare. A 62-year-old male had a dome-shaped and ulcerated tumor located on the left temple. The lesion appeared after eight months ago. It suspected a squamous cell carcinoma. The histologic findings revealed a sebaceous carcinoma in his mixed and moderately differentiated type. Sebaceous carcinoma exhibits a variety of histologic growth patterns and diverse clinical presentations that the diagnosis is often difficult. We discuss incidence as well as clinical, histological and established the diagnosis and the prognosis of this aggressive neoplasm.
