Sebaceous carcinoma is rare aggressive neoplasm that usually located on the ocular adnexa, especially meibomian gland and zeiss gland, but few cases of sebaceous carcinoma are arising from extraocular sites. Extraocular sebaceous carcinoma is commonly affect the head and neck area, rarely affect the trunk and extremities in elderly. A 58-year-old male who had 0.5ⅹ0.6cm sized slow-growing yellowish plaque on below the left nasal ala for several years visited our hospital. The histologic examination with 3mm punch biopsy shows irregular tumor nest composed of sebaceous undifferentiated cells variation in the shape and size of each nuclei, confirmed the diagnosis of sebaceous carcinoma. The lesion was totally removed by 5mm-margin wide surgical excision and showed no recurrence for three years. We experienced an unusual case of extraorbital sebaceous carcinoma that successfully treated with 5mm-margin wide surgical excision without recurrence.
