RAMIREZ GARCIA, Lázara Kenia et al. Carcinoma of palpebral sebaceous glands. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2014, vol.27, n.1, pp. 139-147. ISSN 0864-2176.

The sebaceous gland carcinoma is a highly malignant tumor and potentially lethal; it may masquerade inflammatory diseases such as blepharitis, blepharoconjunctivitis, meibomitis, tarsitis and recurrent chalazion. Hence, the presence of palpebral injury of recurrent or atypical presentation imposes a complete resection with oncological margin for pathological examination. This condition presents with difficult clinical diagnosis and sometimes unnoticed, so we conducted a literature review to delve into its various forms of presentation, prognosis and treatment.
