  • Title: Sebaceous gland carcinoma of the eyelids in Hawaii.
    Author: Parsa FD.
    Journal: Hawaii Med J; 1989 May; 48(5):165-6, 168. PubMed ID: 2753694.
    Abstract:
    Sebaceous gland carcinomas of the eyelids are rare neoplasms accounting for less than 1% of all eyelid tumors. They usually mimic chalazia and undergo repeated curettage before a definitive diagnosis is made. Although they are relatively slow-growing tumors, they behave in an aggressive manner, frequently metastasizing to regional lymph nodes. Approximately 50% of the patients who develop metastasis to lymph nodes of the neck will survive five years. A case report and the review of similar cases in Hawaii in the past 10 years demonstrates the need for early detection and treatment of sebaceous adenocarcinoma of the eyelids.
