Radiology Case Reports

Abstract

Sebaceous carcinoma is a rare, malignant tumor of the sebaceous glands. This is a case report of a 75-year-old man who presented with a right lower axillary mass which initially was considered to be a benign sebaceous cyst from sonography. The lesion rapidly changed in clinical and sonographic appearances and on histology was a sebaceous carcinoma. This unusual tumor accounts for less than 1% of all cutaneous malignant tumors, and the chest wall is a rare extraocular site with only nine cases described in the literature. Immunohistochemistry was negative for MSH2 and MSH6, and positive for MLH1 and PMS2, raising the possibility of Lynch or Muir-Torre Syndrome which is a known association with this rare tumor.
