Sebaceous Adenoma versus Carcinoma: A Diagnostic Dillema
نویسنده
چکیده
Sebaceous adenoma is rare lesion and frequently misdiagnosed clinically as basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma. Sebaceous carcinoma are still rarer lesions taking origin from sebaceous glands.We report a case of sebaceous carcinoma on upper eyelid which was a diagnostic dilemma.Biopsy in this case was sent to us with clinical diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma/Meibomian gland carcinoma. This case is being presented solely to focus on the fact that a small or rather superficial biopsy can lead to a diagnostic dilemma.

Sebaceous carcinoma ex-pleomorphic adenoma: a rare phenotypic occurrence.
Primary sebaceous carcinoma of salivary glands is a rare entity with approximately 22 de novo documented cases. Similar tumor arising in a benign mixed tumor has only been reported once. We report a second case of sebaceous carcinoma in a pleomorphic adenoma and discuss the clinicopathologic features, histogenesis, and the differential diagnosis of this unusual tumor.
متن کاملTelomerase expression in sebaceous lesions of the skin.
BACKGROUND Recent studies have demonstrated telomerase expression in ophthalmologic sebaceous carcinoma and have suggested possible diagnostic utility in distinguishing these neoplasms from sebaceous adenomas. The aim of this study was to evaluate telomerase expression via human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) immunohistochemical staining in a spectrum of sebaceous lesions of the skin....
متن کاملSebaceoma and Related Neoplasms With Sebaceous Differentiation
The classification of benign sebaceous neoplasms has been challenged both by the assertion that sebaceous adenomas are really carcinomas and by difficulties in drawing the boundaries between sebaceomas and other lesions. We performed a clinicopathologic study of 30 cases of basaloid neoplasms with sebaceous differentiation, excluding cases of definite sebaceous carcinoma with severe nuclear aty...
متن کاملDistinction of benign sebaceous proliferations from sebaceous carcinomas by immunohistochemistry.
Sebaceous lesions, including sebaceous hyperplasia, sebaceomas, and sebaceous adenomas and carcinomas, are histologically distinctive adnexal proliferations with a spectrum of biological behavior ranging from benign to frankly malignant. The histologic distinction between sebaceous adenomas and carcinomas may be challenging, especially in cases showing atypical features and in small or partial ...
متن کاملA case presentation of parathyroid adenoma and papillary carcinoma of the thyroid [Persian]
A 54 years old female with history of total thyroidectomy for papillary carcinoma, treated with lOOmCi of iodine-131 and negative whole body scans was referred for follow up study. Tl-201 scan revealed an area of radiotracer uptake in the neck region, suggestive of a parathyroid adenoma versus recurrence of thyroid carcinoma. The patient was operated, the parathyroid adenoma was removed. ...
