Abstract
Sebaceous carcinoma is a rare, aggressive, malignant tumor derived fro m the adnexal epithelium of sebaceous glands. It may arise in ocular o r extraocular sites and exhibits such a variety of histologic growth p atterns and diverse clinical presentations that the diagnosis is often delayed for months to years. We discuss incidence as well as clinical , histologic, diagnostic, prognostic, and management issues of this ag gressive neoplasm.
