title: Zeis gland carcinoma.
abstract: Sebaceous carcinoma of the Zeis gland of the cilia is a rare malignant tumor. A 90-year-old Japanese man with a Zeis gland carcinoma on the left upper eyelid is reported. The tumor was a 12 x 3-mm, reddish, partially yellow, papillomatous nodule accompanied by loss of several lashes. Histologically, two types of tumor cells, a dark basaloid cell and a larger pale cell, showed lobular and comedo-acinar growth patterns. The carcinoma did not recur during the 8 months following surgery; however, the patient died of gastric carcinoma.
