Sebaceous Carcinoma of the Vulva: Case Report and Review of Literature

Abstract

Extraocular sebaceous carcinoma is an uncommon malignant tumor that usually affects the head and neck. Despite being rich in sebaceous glands, vulvar sebaceous carcinoma is extremely rare. We report a case of vulvar sebaceous carcinoma in a 64-year-old woman that presented as an asymptomatic nodule and was successfully treated by wide local excision. The number of reported cases of vulvar sebaceous carcinoma is very small, more cases need to be collected in order to identify prognostic factors and appropriate management modalities.
