Résumé

Sebaceous carcinoma is a rare, aggressive cutaneous malignancy most commonly arising from the periocular area. Extraocular locations of sebaceous carcinomas, particularly outside of the head and neck region, are rare and not well-described. We report a case of an 89-year-old Caucasian female with sebaceous carcinoma of the right wrist. She initially presented with a 1.2-centimeter friable nodule on the right wrist. Initial shave biopsy and subsequent pathologic evaluation revealed a basaloid neoplasm with sebaceous differentiation, atypia, and frequent mitoses, consistent with sebaceous carcinoma. The presented case reviews common clinical features and the pertinent histopathology of ocular and extraocular sebaceous carcinoma and provides a literature review of diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment.
