    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Oncology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Chronic blepharoconjunctivitis can be challenging to treat.
    • Unilateral, persistent, or recurrent eyelid inflammation requires thorough investigation.

    Observation:

    • A 52-year-old man presented with a three-year history of unresponsive right eye blepharoconjunctivitis.
    • Initial conjunctival cytologic examinations suggested malignancy.
    • A full-thickness eyelid biopsy ultimately confirmed sebaceous carcinoma.

    Findings:

    • Sebaceous carcinoma can present insidiously as chronic eyelid inflammation.
    • Conjunctival scrapings may suggest malignancy, but biopsy is definitive.
    • Pathologist expertise is vital for accurate diagnosis of this rare neoplasm.

    Implications:

    • Consider sebaceous carcinoma in refractory eyelid inflammation cases.
    • Emphasize diagnostic value of conjunctival cytology and full-thickness eyelid biopsy.
    • Prompt diagnosis and treatment are essential for improving survival rates in sebaceous carcinoma patients.
