Sebaceous carcinoma of the eyelid.
An unusual case of sebaceous carcinoma of the eyelid is described. Site of the lesion and noninvolvement of the lid margin or the skin suggest that it arose from meibomian glands. A complete excision and not partial biopsy of the suspected lesions is advised for histopathologic studies. It is suggested also that the specimen must be examined by an ophthalmic pathologist.
