A Case of Sebaceous Carcinoma

ABSTRACT

In recent years, there appears to have been an increased incidence or recognition of sebaceous carcinomas of the ocular adnexa, which had been previously believed very rare. A 55-year-old male visited our hospital in April 1973 with a large lump in the right lower eyelid which had showed progressive enlargement of one year's duration. A biopsy was carried out and the histopathological examination revealed sebaceous carcinoma. He was treated with a total dosage of 6,000 rads of electron-beam by LINAC machine in October 1973, and the result was excellent.
