description Sebaceous carcinoma, an uncommon cutaneous tumor first described by Allaire in 1891. This arises mostly from sebaceous glands in the skin and thus may arise anywhere in the body where these glands exist. Approximately, 75% of these tumors arise in the periocular region, which is rich in sebaceous glands. Fewer than 120 cases of sebaceous cell carcinoma have been reported at the extraocular sites as in our case.
