Abstract
|
|
|
|
Sebaceous carcinoma is a very rare and potentially aggressive carcinoma originating from the epithelial lining of the sebaceous gland. More than 70% of all cases are in the head and neck region, especially the periorbita; therefore, they are classified into ocular and extraocular sebaceous carcinoma. The reported risk factors are advanced age, male sex, previous irradiation, and genetic predisposition for Muir-Torre syndrome. The current case is of sebaceous carcinoma found in the suprapubic area of a 67-year-old male patient who had received liver transplantation 6 years before, and had been receiving oral tacrolimus. Examination of the gastrointestinal system did not reveal any other malignancies. Although nonmelanoma skin cancers may occur as a complication after liver transplantation, there have been no previous reports of sebaceous carcinoma after liver transplantation. Furthermore, the sebaceous carcinoma in this case occurred in an uncommon location. We report this case along with a review of the literature. (Ann Dermatol 26(3) 395∼398, 2014)
