A Case of Sebaceous Carcinoma of the Submandibular Gland

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Sebaceous carcinoma of the salivary gland is an extremely unordinary malignancy occurringmainly in the parotid gland. Sebaceous carcinoma arising in the submandibular gland is exceptionaland only three cases have been reported in the literature. We herein present a uniquecase of sebaceous carcinoma of the submandibular gland, the first to be reported in literaturein South Korea. An 85-year-old man visited our hospital complaining of a progressively enlargingsubmandibular mass with tenderness and ipsilateral facial palsy. We performed a wideexcision of the mass with superficial parotidectomy and modified neck dissection. Microscopicand immunohistochemical examinations demonstrated sebaceous carcinoma of low gradedifferentiation. Further adjuvant radiotherapy was rejected and the patient was followed up forfive months. The optimal treatment of sebaceous carcinoma of the salivary gland is still notestablished due to the rarity of the disease. When more cases are reported, the clinicopathologiccharacteristics will be better understood.
