Although conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma is known to develop as a result of chronic irritation from wearing an ocular prosthesis, orbital sebaceous gland carcinoma arising in an anophthalmic pocket is extremely rare. We report a 68-year-old female who developed a sebaceous gland carcinoma 65 years after her right eye was enucleated (at the age of three years) due to congenital glaucoma. Th...

Syringocystadenoma papilliferum is an uncommon benign apocrine gland tumour, mostly of congenital or early childhood onset, affecting head and neck. In addition, nevus sebaceous is commonly associated with this tumor.

Here, we provide a clinicopathological correlation of ocular sebaceous carcinoma in a young individual lacking history of hereditary cancer or immunosuppression. FINDINGS A detailed histopathological...
