Clinical features
Typically, a sebaceous carcinoma presents as a yellow, ulcerated nodule on the face - particularly the eyelids - or scalp. Eyelid lesions are more likely to present with clinical metastases.
Alternatively, sebaceous carcinoma can present as a pedunculated lesion, irregular mass, or diffusely thickened skin. Notably, approximately 75% of these cases occur in the periocular region, with the upper eyelid 2 to 3 times more frequently involved than the lower eyelid.
It may be associated with a variety of other skin tumours in Muir-Torre Syndrome.
