“…In MTS, sebaceous neoplasms generally occur after the visceral cancer, but they can also be the presenting sign of this syndrome. 6,7 A wide spectrum of benign and malignant sebaceous tumors is encountered in MTS, including sebaceous hy- perplasias, sebaceous adenomas, sebaceous epitheliomas, and carcinomas. 8,9 These tumors, showing highly variable growth patterns, are sometimes difficult to classify.…”

“…Only in one case the death of a patient 6 months after diagnosis due to SC was seen [24]. In another case the patient died approximately 4 years after first diagnosis, but due to another metastatic tumor [20]. In one case, 18 months free of recurrence was described [25].…”

“…In 7 of 8 cases with cutaneous metastases, male patients were affected; the mean age was 63 years. In 6 cases, lymphogenous metastases were described [20][21][22][23][24]. In 3 cases pulmonic metastases were present [20,22], in one case hepatic [22] and in another one skeletal metastases was described [20].…”

Purpose Sebaceous carcinoma (SC) is a rare adnexal tumor. Extra-ocular, facial SC is very uncommon and local metastases are an extreme rare finding. A respective case is presented and discussed together with the current literature. Case and Review A tumor of the left ear of an 87-old male was primary excised together with multiple suspicious lesions of the head and neck. Most specimens were histopathologically rated as squamous cell carcinomas (SCC). Despite the in-sano resection, additional new suspicious retro-auricular and temporal lesions were detected. Successive resections were diagnosed as basal cell carcinomas (BCC) and, because of a non-in-sano resection in a third approach, as SC. After reappraisal and immunhistochemical staining [epithelial membrane antigen (EMA), CK 5-6 and CD 15], most of the former specimens turned out to be SC as well. A literature search showed 3 reported cases of extra-ocular head and neck SC with cutaneous local metastases. In another review, in a total of 168 cases, SC was diagnosed after wrong initial histological diagnosis (SCC n = 56, BCC n = 44; other entity or precursors of carcinomas n = 68).Conclusion Due to inconsistent histologic patterns, histopathological misdiagnosis of the uncommon facial SC and its metastases may complicate further therapy, prolong treatment and may lead to a worse prognosis of this neoplasm. A close interdisciplinary collaboration of clinician, surgeon and pathologist is of most relevance for the right diagnosis.
