Abstract

Sebaceous gland carcinoma (SGC) is a rare and aggressive malignant cutaneous neoplasm. 75-80% originate in the periocular region. Extraocular location, particularly on the scalp, is extremely rare. We present the case of a patient with scalp SGC, initially diagnosed as a sebaceous cyst. Treatment was based on surgical resection and adjuvant radiotherapy. Diagnostic and therapeutic challenges are discussed. The prognosis is guarded due to the high rate of recurrence and metastasis.
