SEBACEOUS CARCINOMA ABOUT A CASE

Abstract

Sebaceous carcinoma is a rare and aggressive skin cancer that originates in the cells of the sebaceous glands. It mainly affects fair-skinned and chronically sun-exposed people, and is commonly located on areas such as the face, scalp, and neck. Diagnosis is based on clinical evaluation and biopsy. The treatment of choice is Mohs surgery and, in some cases, adjuvant radiotherapy. The prognosis is generally good, but the disease may be recurrent and, in advanced cases, there may be metastases. Long-term follow-up is important for early detection of recurrences and metastases. In this clinical case, the diagnosis and treatment of a patient with sebaceous carcinoma is presented. The importance of early detection, accurate diagnosis and a comprehensive approach to care to achieve positive results in the management of this disease will be highlighted.
