title: Sebaceous carcinoma of the eyelid.
abstract: 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.
