A recurrent case of extraocular sebaceous carcinoma with distant organ metastasis

Sebaceous carcinoma (SC) is a rare tumor, accounting for approximately 0.7% of skin cancers. SC can be classified as ocular SC (OSC) or extraocular SC (EOSC) depending on its location. Because EOSC accompanied by metastases is rare, there is a paucity of data about EOSC accompanied by metastasis. Th...

Sumario:Sebaceous carcinoma (SC) is a rare tumor, accounting for approximately 0.7% of skin cancers. SC can be classified as ocular SC (OSC) or extraocular SC (EOSC) depending on its location. Because EOSC accompanied by metastases is rare, there is a paucity of data about EOSC accompanied by metastasis. This study presents a case of an aggressive EOSC of the scalp with lymph node metastases. The patient underwent wide local excision of the primary tumor with a 1 cm safety margin and bilateral radical lymph node dissection. However, recurrence was observed 1 month after surgery. Radiation therapy and resection were performed for the recurrent tumor. However, distant metastases to both lungs eventually occurred. Here, we describe a rare recurrent case of EOSC of the scalp with distant organ metastasis with a review of the literature.
