  • Title: Sebaceous carcinoma presenting as a unilateral papillary conjunctivitis.
    Author: Gloor P, Ansari I, Sinard J.
    Journal: Am J Ophthalmol; 1999 Apr; 127(4):458-9. PubMed ID: 10218701.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To describe a previously unreported presentation of sebaceous carcinoma, an aggressive tumor that often presents insidiously with minimal symptoms and nonspecific signs. METHODS: We report a 71-year-old man who presented with unilateral ocular irritation and ipsilateral, idiopathic, papillary changes of the superior palpebral conjunctiva. The patient underwent incisional biopsy of the palpebral conjunctiva followed by full-thickness excision of the involved eyelid. RESULT: Histopathologic examination established the diagnosis of sebaceous carcinoma. CONCLUSION: Unexplained asymmetric, papillary changes of the palpebral conjunctiva should arouse suspicion of sebaceous carcinoma.
