Summary
Intraoral sebaceous carcinoma (SC) is a rare oral tumor originating from sebaceous glands. This article presents a new case, adding to the limited documented instances of this unusual malignancy.
Area of Science:
- Oral pathology
- Oncology
- Dermatopathology
Background:
- Intraoral sebaceous carcinoma (SC) is an exceptionally rare malignancy.
- It is believed to originate from the malignant transformation of sebaceous glands within the oral cavity.
- The English literature documents only six previously reported cases of intraoral SC.
Observation:
- This paper details an additional case of intraoral sebaceous carcinoma.
- The case contributes to the scarce existing data on this rare oral tumor.
Findings:
- The study expands the known cases of intraoral SC.
- It underscores the rarity and diagnostic challenges associated with this tumor.
Implications:
- Increased awareness of intraoral SC among clinicians and pathologists.
- Potential for further research into the etiology and behavior of these rare tumors.
- Highlights the importance of thorough histopathological examination for accurate diagnosis.

01:21Accessory Structures of the Skin: Sebaceous Glands
A sebaceous gland is a type of oil gland found almost all over the skin ( except palms and soles) and helps lubricate and waterproof the skin and hair. Most sebaceous glands are associated with hair follicles. They generate and excrete sebum, a mixture of lipids, onto the skin surface, thereby naturally lubricating the dry and dead layer of keratinized cells of the stratum corneum, keeping it pliable.
These glands that produce the oils on the skin and hair are holocrine glands. The mature...

01:27Acne Infection
Acne is a multifactorial skin condition primarily affecting adolescents and young adults, with a global prevalence estimated to exceed 75% in this demographic. The condition is characterized by the formation of comedones (blackheads and whiteheads), papules, pustules, nodules, and, in severe cases, cysts, particularly in areas rich in sebaceous glands such as the face, neck, chest, and back. The pathogenesis involves increased sebum production, follicular hyperkeratinization, colonization by...
01:30Skin Cancer
Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.

The oral cavity, or the mouth, is a complex structure in humans that plays a vital role in our day-to-day lives. Its role is not only in chewing and swallowing food; it also plays a role in speech and facial expressions.
