Nasal sebaceous carcinoma: A case treated at a tertiary care center

Abstract

Sebaceous gland malignancies represent one of the rare and potentially aggressive types of skin neoplasms arising from the sebaceous gland's epithelium. Sebaceous carcinoma of nasal location is an extremely rare site of presentation as well as a rare cutaneous malignancy. Herein, we present a case of a 50-year-old female with sebaceous carcinoma of the nose that came to our hospital with a mass in her left nasal cavity and was operated as well as received adjuvant therapy for the same. The patient is doing well at 24 months of follow-up without any evidence of disease recurrence or residual. We discuss the clinical, pathological, radiological findings, and management of the same. Careful clinical history, histopathological examination, and radiologic findings are all important for the correct diagnosis of sebaceous carcinoma of the nasal cavity. Since there is no standard treatment available for this tumor, one needs to be aware about the treatment options available.
