ABSTRACT
Sebaceous carcinoma is a particularly common malignant tumor of the eyelid. Therefore, this lesion is important to ophthalmologist. Recently, there appears to have been an increased incidence or recognition of sebaceous carcinomas of the eyelid, which had been previously believed to be very rare. Frequently mistaken for a recurrent chalazion, invasion by sebaceous carcinoma is frequently enhanced by repeat curettage and forms of therapy that obscure the true diagnosis. This tumor is difficult to completely resect due to intraepithelial widespread, so its prognosis is poor. The authors experienced two cases of sebaceous carcinoma of the eyelid. One was a 57 year old female patient who was treated with surgical resection and the other was a 71 year old male with cervical lymph node metastasis. He was treated with surgical resection, but he rejected radiotherapy.
