SEBACEOUS CARCINOMA OCCURRING SIMULTANEOUSLY IN PAROTID AND SUBMANDIBULAR SALIVARY GLAND WITH CERVICAL LYMPHNODE METASTASIS – A CASE REPORT

Tamilselvan Ms, Karpagam Janardhan, Radhika S

Abstract :

Sebaceous carcinoma is a rare malignancy occurring predominantly in the eyelids and very rarely in salivary glands with 11% to 28% in parotid gland and 6% in submandibular gland . Till date only 33 cases of sebaceous carcinoma in parotid gland and 3 cases of sebaceous carcinoma in submandibular salivary gland have been reported. Upto our knowledge there is no case report of sebaceous carcinoma occurring simultaneously in parotid and submandibular salivary gland in world literature.

Diagnosis may be difficult because of the unusual location and morphological resemblance to other salivary gland neoplasms. IHC is essential for confirming the diagnosis.
