Abstract
Sebaceous carcinoma is one of the rare malignancies encountered in clinical practice. They are very aggressive because of their pagetoid type of spread and also because of vascular and perineural invasion. With these features it forms a therapeutic challenge. Here, we present a rare case of sebaceous carcinoma in a 62 year old female with metastases in both parotid and abdomen 6 months after surgical resection of primary in the eyelid.
Keywords: Sebaceous carcinoma, Malignancy, Eyelid, Parotid.
