Area of Science:
- Oral pathology
- Dermatopathology
- Oncology
Background:
- Sebaceous carcinoma is a rare malignant neoplasm originating from sebaceous glands.
- Intraoral presentation of sebaceous carcinoma is exceptionally uncommon.
Observation:
- A case of sebaceous carcinoma presenting as a distinct mass in the left buccal mucosa is described.
- Light and electron microscopy were utilized to characterize the tumor.
- This represents the first reported instance of intraoral sebaceous carcinoma in English-language literature.
Findings:
- Detailed light and electron microscopic findings are presented.
- The histologic differential diagnosis for this intraoral tumor is discussed.
- Clinical behavior and therapeutic strategies for sebaceous carcinoma are reviewed.
Implications:
