Sebaceous carcinoma of the oral mucosa: case report and review of the literature

Faizan Alawi et al. Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol Oral Radiol Endod. 2005 Jan.

Abstract

Fordyce granules are found in the oral mucosa of up to 80% of adults. However, primary malignant sebaceous tumors of the oral mucosa are exceedingly rare. To our knowledge, only 5 examples of intraoral sebaceous carcinoma have been reported in the literature. This report describes a primary sebaceous carcinoma of the labial mucosa that arose in an area containing numerous Fordyce granules. A brief review of the clinical and histopathologic features of sebaceous carcinoma is also presented.
