Periocular Sebaceous Cell Carcinoma: A Short Overview
Sebaceous cell carcinoma is a rare cancer of sebaceous glands that most commonly affects the eyelids (75%). The approximate global incidence rate varies between 1 to 3 people per one million person-years. There were just over 700 diagnoses in England between 1999 and 2008. Due to similar presentations, sebaceous carcinoma can sometimes be misdiagnosed as a chalazion, hordeolum, basal cell carcinoma or blepharoconjunctivitis - causing delays in diagnosis and treatment.
