Abstract :
Background. Sebaceous carcinoma (SC) is an uncommon cutaneous malignancy, usually occurring predominantly in the eyelids
and only occasionally involving the oral cavity. Sebaceous carcinoma (SC) is a rare malignancy. Only 10 cases of sebaceous
carcinoma of the oral cavity have been reported so far. Case Presentation. A 40-year-old female presented with a mass on the
left side of the middle third of the face. Radiographic findings were inconclusive. Resection of the mass was consistent with the
diagnosis of primary sebaceous carcinoma. Conclusion. Intraoral sebaceous carcinoma is uncommon. Due to its varied clinical
appearance and presence of a diverse histopathologic appearance, the diagnosis is quite often confounding and elusive. Hence, it
is imperative to familiarize oneself about various aspects of this rare tumor for earlier diagnosis, to improve the chances of
patient’s survival.
