PURPOSE To highlight the recognition and diagnosis of Muir-Torre syndrome (MTS) in patients with sebaceous tumors of the eyelid/conjunctiva and to determine the role of immunohistochemical markers as a screening test in patients with Muir-Torre syndrome. DESIGN Single interventional case report. METHODS The clinical and family history was reviewed from the records of a 41-year-old man who h...

BACKGROUND Sebaceous carcinoma of the eyelid is rare. The diagnosis might be difficult because of its ability to masquerade as other periocular lesions. Prognosis is still regarded as being poor compared with most other malignant eyelid tumours with a mortality second only to malignant melanoma. The present study retrospectively analyses clinical and histopathological findings and outcome in a ...

Sebaceous adenomas of the major salivary glands are uncommon tumors. Although sebaceous differentiation within the major salivary glands is a frequent histopathologic finding (approximately 20% to 42% of parotid glands), sebaceous neoplasms of salivary gland origin are not. A number of publications review the clinical and histologic features of sebaceous neoplasms, however, these reports focus ...

Background: Skin adnexal tumors are a spectrum of benign and malignant that differentiate toward or arise from the unit skin. These rare pose challenge in diagnosis, often, discrepancy is seen between clinical histopathological diagnosis. Materials methods: This single institutional study was carried out among 36 patients who presented with swelling. An initial diagnosis considered based on his...

Introduction: This is to report a rare case of sebaceous carcinoma of inner cantus of the eye in relation with rare skin lesions of epidermodysplasia verruciformis. Epidermodysplasia verruciformis is a rare skin disease which is caused by human papilloma virus. Sebaceous carcinoma is a rare entity which is derived from sebaceous glands and to our best knowledge this is for the first time that w...

The primary feature of the mammalian skin includes the hair follicle, inter-follicular epidermis and the sebaceous glands, all of which form pilo-sebaceous units. The epidermal protective layer undergoes an ordered/programmed process of proliferation and differentiation, ultimately culminating in the formation of a cornified envelope consisting of enucleated corneocytes. These terminally differ...

Epidermal naevi are a heterogenous group of benign congenital hamartomas that may be composed of cells of sebaceous, apocrine, eccrine, follicular, or keratinocyte origin. Verrucous epidermal naevi (VEN) are a type of epidermal naevi of keratinocyte differentiation.1 Although multiple lesions of VEN are often seen, lesions presenting bilaterally are rare. We present a case of VEN involving the ...
