    Author: Ghosh SK, Bandyopadhyay D, Gupta S, Chatterjee G, Ghosh A.
    Journal: Dermatol Online J; 2008 Aug 15; 14(8):8. PubMed ID: 19061568.
    Abstract:
    Sebaceous carcinoma is a very rare, aggressive, malignant tumor derived from the adnexal epithelium of sebaceous glands. It is traditionally classified into two groups: tumors arising from the ocular adnexa and those arising in extra-ocular sites. Despite the widespread anatomic distribution of sebaceous glands, extraocular sebaceous carcinoma is very rare, comprising only (1/4) of all reported cases of sebaceous carcinoma. Extraocular sebaceous carcinoma in the post-auricular region or in the external auditory canal is very rarely described in the literature. A case of a rapidly growing sebaceous carcinoma of the pinna occurring in a pregnant woman is reported here for its rarity.
