Gąsiorowski K, Gontarz M, Marecik T, Szczurowski P, Bargiel J, Zapała J, Wyszyńska-Pawelec G. Risk Factors for Orbital Invasion in Malignant Eyelid Tumors, Is Orbital Exenteration Still Necessary? J Clin Med 2024; 13:726. [PMID: 38337420 PMCID: PMC10856173 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13030726] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2023] [Revised: 01/13/2024] [Accepted: 01/19/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Basal cell carcinoma is the most common malignant skin tumor of the eyelids in Caucasians, followed by squamous cell carcinoma and sebaceous gland carcinoma. The primary treatment for these tumors is radical excision. In cases where malignant eyelid tumors are advanced and have invaded the orbit, orbital exenteration is necessary. In this retrospective study, we aimed to determine the correlation between the risk of orbital infiltration and various factors like tumor location, size, histological type, and patient age. This study revealed that tumors in multiple regions increased the risk of orbital infiltration by 3.75 times. Tumors with a diameter of 21-30 mm raised the likelihood of requiring exenteration by 15.5 times compared to smaller tumors (up to 10 mm). Age was also associated with the likelihood of orbital invasion in periocular tumors. Interestingly, no correlation was found between the histological type of the tumor and the risk of orbital infiltration. Notably, the conjunctiva of the eyeball was the most commonly infiltrated orbital structure, followed by the orbital fat. Timely treatment and well-planned procedures are crucial for patients with malignant periocular skin tumors to avoid multiple reoperations and the potential need for orbital exenteration.

Abstract
Adnexal neoplasms of the eyelid encompass a wide variety of benign and malignant tumors of sebaceous, follicular, and sweat gland origin. Due to the specialized structures of the eyelid, these neoplasms present differently when compared with those of other locations. Although most dermatologists and ophthalmologists are familiar with the commonly reported adnexal tumors of the eyelid, such as hidrocystoma, pilomatrixoma, and sebaceous carcinoma, many other adnexal neoplasms have been reported at this unique anatomic site. Accurate and timely identification of these neoplasms is essential, as alterations of eyelid anatomy and function can have a negative impact on eye health, vision, and quality of life. We review the clinical and histopathologic features of common and rare eyelid adnexal neoplasms and discuss proposed treatment options.

Abstract
Primary sebaceous carcinoma of the lacrimal gland (PSCLG) is the rarest lacrimal gland (LG) tumor, often belatedly diagnosed, worsening the prognosis. We present a 68-year-old man with a large, indurated mass in the left orbital outer quadrant, visible at the conjunctival upper temporal fornix, extending to the lower fornix, with left gaze restriction. The lesion was not related to the eyelid or other periocular tissues. Excisional biopsy revealed the PSCLG diagnosis. There are only eight others previous PSCLGs. Males are the most affected. Indurated mass in the lacrimal fossa, with eyelid in "S" shape is the most common presentation. Image exams are suggestive, but histological and immunohistochemical evaluations showing a single tumor cell line within LG are mandatory for definitive diagnosis. Larger and more extensive lesions can have a poor prognosis, but early detection can favor the outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This observational study aims to describe and compare histopathological, architectural, and nuclear characteristics of sebaceous lesions and utilized these characteristics to develop a predictive classification approach using machine learning algorithms. METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted on Iranian patients with sebaceous tumors from two hospitals between March 2015 and March 2019. Pathology slides were reviewed by two pathologists and the architectural and cytological attributes were recorded. Multiple decision tree models were trained using 5-fold cross validation to determine the most important predictor variables and to develop a simple prediction model. RESULTS This study assessed the characteristics of 123 sebaceous tumors. Histopathological findings, including pagetoid appearance, neurovascular invasion, atypical mitosis, extensive necrotic area, poor cell differentiation, and non-lobular tumor growth pattern, as well as nuclear features, including highly irregular nuclear contour, and large nuclear size were exclusively observed in carcinomatous tumors. Among non-carcinomatous lesions, some sebaceoma and sebaceous adenoma cases had features like high mitotic activity, which can be misleading and complicate diagnosis. Based on multiple decision tree models, the five most critical variables for lesion categorization were identified as: basaloid cell count, peripheral basaloid cell layers, tumor margin, nuclear size, and chromatin. CONCLUSIONS This study implemented a machine learning modeling approach to help optimally categorize sebaceous lesions based on architectural and nuclear features. However, studies of larger sample sizes are needed to ensure the accuracy of our suggested predictive model.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study compares the 8th edition staging of AJCC for prognosis of eyelid Sebaceous Gland Carcinoma (SGC) patients with respect to the 7th edition. METHODS A retrospective study was undertaken over a period of 100 months. Ninety-nine histopathologically proven cases of eyelid SGC available for follow-up were recruited. Patients were staged by both the 7th and 8th editions of AJCC and followed up at six monthly intervals after surgery. RESULTS Of the 99 eyelid SGC patients recruited, recurrence and orbital invasion developed in 22%, lymph node metastasis in 21% and 4% had distant metastasis and also died. High-risk features include tumour size>20 mm, orbital invasion, exenteration and staging by both the 7th and 8th editions of AJCC. Cox regression analysis revealed that staging by AJCC 8th edition was associated with greater risk for local recurrence (HR 3.01,95% CI-1.65-5.51%, p < 0.01) lymph node metastasis (HR 8.26, 95% CI 3.96-17.19%, p < 0.01) and disease-free survival (HR 4.61, 95% CI 2.81-7.54). The Kaplan-Meir survival curves of eyelid SGC patients by the 8th edition AJCC staging were also significantly associated with lymph node metastasis (p < 0.01), tumour-related deaths (p < 0.01) and reduced disease-free survival (p = 0.07). The higher Harrell's values by the 8th edition signify better predictive value for lymph node metastasis and DFS (disease-free survival). The lower AIC values indicate a better monotonicity of gradients for lymph node metastasis, recurrence and DFS. CONCLUSION Staging by the 8th AJCC edition is, therefore, recommended for eyelid SGC as it gives a better perspective about disease outcome. The orbital extension was the single most important predictor of lymph node metastasis, recurrence and death.

Abstract
Ocular adnexal (OA) sebaceous carcinomas generally demonstrate more aggressive clinical and histopathological phenotypes than extraocular cases, but the molecular drivers implicated in their oncogenesis remain poorly defined. A retrospective review of surgical and ocular pathology archives identified eleven primary resection specimens of OA sebaceous carcinomas with adequate tissue for molecular analysis; two extraocular cases were also examined. Next-generation sequencing was used to evaluate mutations and copy number changes in a large panel of cancer-associated genes. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) confirmed MYC copy number gain in select cases, and immunohistochemistry to evaluate MYC protein expression. The commonest mutations occurred in TP53 (10/13) and RB1 (7/13). Additional mutations in clinically actionable genes, or mutations with a frequency of at least 25%, included the NF1 (3/12), PMS2 (4/12), ROS1 (3/12), KMT2C (4/12), MNX1 (6/12), NOTCH1 (4/12), PCLO (3/12), and PTPRT (3/12) loci. Low level copy number gain suggestive of amplification of the MYC locus was seen in two cases, and confirmed using FISH. MYC protein expression, as assessed by immunohistochemistry, was present in almost all sebaceous carcinoma cases. Our findings support the concept that alterations in TP53 and RB1 are the commonest alterations in sebaceous carcinoma, and suggest that MYC may contribute to the oncogenesis of these tumors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sebaceous carcinoma (SC) of the eyelid is a rare, aggressive malignancy associated with high rates of recurrence, metastasis, and tumor-related mortality. OBJECTIVE Provide a collective analysis of clinical presentations, management techniques, and outcomes, and compare outcomes of common treatment methods. METHODS AND MATERIALS Observational studies reporting management and outcomes of SC of the eyelid were included. Patient and clinical data were extracted, and meta-analysis of proportions was performed. RESULTS One thousand three hundred thirty-three subjects were included with a mean age of 65.2 years and 803 (60.2%) women. Of 647 initial diagnoses reported, 277 (42.8%) were correct, and the mean diagnostic delay was 14.7 months (range 8.5-34.8). The tumor location was reported in 1,246 subjects and involved the upper eyelid in 780 (62.6%), lower eyelid in 409 (32.8%), and 57 (4.8%) involved both. Overall rates of recurrence, metastasis, and tumor-related mortality were 15.9%, 12.1%, and 6.2%, respectively. There were no statistically significant differences in wide local excision (WLE) versus Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) outcomes. CONCLUSION Sebaceous carcinoma of the eyelid is more common in women, on the upper eyelid, and is frequently misdiagnosed initially. Rate of recurrence, metastasis, and tumor-related mortality were similar in subjects managed with WLE versus MMS.

Abstract
Intraepithelial sebaceous neoplasia in the forms (or subclassification) of pagetoid spread and carcinoma in situ is a common feature of periocular sebaceous carcinoma and is associated with less favourable outcomes. Seminal studies of periocular sebaceous carcinoma in the 1980s indicated that the two patterns of intraepithelial spread had differing influences on prognosis with pagetoid invasion being worse. Later studies reported conflicting results, but careful inspection of those studies revealed considerable variation in what was meant by pagetoid invasion. Different interpretations of pagetoid spread continue, leading to ambiguous results in clinical studies and miscommunication with potential unintended decisions affecting clinical management. This paper reviews the background leading to the frequent interchangeable use of pagetoid spread with in situ sebaceous carcinoma and how this problem confounds interpretation of clinical studies. The author recommends that for effective communication, all morphological patterns of in situ spread of sebaceous carcinoma fall under the term intraepithelial sebaceous neoplasia, which can be accompanied by subclassification whenever desired.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the overexpression of genes in sebaceous gland carcinoma (SGC) of the eyelid compared to sebaceous adenoma of the eyelid in order to elucidate the molecular mechanism underlying pathogenesis. METHODS We performed histopathological examination of eyelid tissues surgically removed from four patients diagnosed with SGC (cases 1-3) and sebaceous adenoma (case 4) of the eyelid. Next, we performed global gene expression analysis of surgical tissue samples using a GeneChip® system and the Ingenuity Pathways Knowledge Base. The results of the GeneChip® analysis were explored with quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis. RESULTS In the SGC samples, we found that 211, 199, and 199 genes, respectively, showed ≥ 2.0-fold higher expression than those in the sebaceous adenoma sample (case 4); 194 genes were common to all three SGC samples. For the 194 genes with upregulated expression, functional category analysis showed that SGC of the eyelid employed a unique gene network, including cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A (CDKN2A), cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1), and cyclin E1 (CCNE1), which are related to cell cycle progression, incidence of tumor, and cell viability. Furthermore, qRT-PCR analysis showed that the expression levels of CDKN2A, CDK1, and CCNE1 were significantly upregulated in all SGC cases compared to those in the sebaceous adenoma case. These data were similar to the results of microarray analysis. CONCLUSION Overexpression of cell cycle-related genes CDKN2A, CDK1, CCNE1, and their gene network may help elucidate the pathogenic pathway of SGC of the eyelid at the molecular level.

Abstract
Sebaceous cell carcinoma is well known as the "great masquerader" mimicking other benign or malignant eyelid conditions and lesions. We present a case of a middle age male presenting with a subacute left upper lid abscess who was ultimately diagnosed with malignant sebaceous cell carcinoma after incision and drainage and treatment with broad spectrum antibiotics. This case highlights the deceptive clinical and radiographic appearance of this tumor and the importance of histologic examination in atypical or refractory periorbital abscesses.

Abstract
AIM To describe the histopathologic and clinical features of eyelid tumor cases from Tianjin Eye Hospital during 2002 to 2015. METHODS In this retrospective study, a total of 2228 cases of eyelid tumors with pathologic diagnoses were enrolled. The eyelid tumors were classified into three groups according to tumor origin: epidermal, adnexal and miscellaneous, including melanocytic, neural and vascular lesions. Inflammatory tumor-like lesions were excluded. The clinical characteristics of the eyelid tumors were analyzed, including age, gender and lesion location. RESULTS Most eyelid tumors were epidermal in origin (1080, 48.5%), followed by miscellaneous (885, 39.7%) and adnexal tumors (263, 11.8%). Among all the tumors, 292 (13.1%) were malignant lesions, 1910 (85.7%) benign and 26 (1.1%) premalignant lesions. Most malignant tumors originated from epidermal cells (60.0%), followed by adnexal cells (34.6%). The most common malignant tumors were basal cell carcinomas (56.5%) followed by sebaceous carcinoma (34.6%), squamous cell carcinomas (3.8%) and lymphoma/plasmocytoma (1.7%). The benign and premalignant eyelid lesions mostly originated from epidermal cells (46.4%) followed by miscellaneous cell sources (45.2%), including melanocytic nevus (33.8%), seborrheic keratosis (13.7%), squamous cell papilloma (13.0%) and epidermal cysts (11.5%). CONCLUSION Eyelid tumors are mostly epithelial in origin. Benign tumors are significantly more common than malignant tumors with an obvious female predominance, and the most frequent malignant tumor are basal cell carcinoma, sebaceous carcinoma and squamous cell carcinomas. The tumor clinical features varied among the different subtypes.

Abstract
Background The prognosis of Chinese patients with eyelid sebaceous carcinoma (SC) has not been updated for >3 decades. The prognostic predictors are multifactorial, and there is no validated prognostic model for eyelid SC. Methods This study included 238 consecutive patients with eyelid SC. All eligible patients were followed up for metastasis and mortality. The predictors of tumor-related survival were explored by Cox analyses. A prognostic nomogram was developed and validated using bootstrap resampling. The predictive accuracy and discriminative ability were compared between the nomogram and the Tumor, Node, Metastasis (TNM) staging system. Findings After a median follow-up period of 55.5 months, 27 (11.3%) patients died of metastatic SC, with a median survival time of 48.0 months. The 5-year and 10-year tumor-related survival rates were 88.1% and 77.9%, respectively. Orbital involvement (HR: 3.11, p = .022), the greatest tumor basal diameter (HR: 1.06, p = .003), the presence of pagetoid spread (HR: 2.90, p = .017), and having lymph node metastasis at initial diagnosis (HR: 13.66, p < .001) were independent risk factors for tumor-related death. A nomogram integrating these 4 factors was developed with a C-index of 0.887, which is significantly better than that of the TNM staging system (p = .002). The risk groups stratified by nomogram scores (p < .001 (low vs intermediate risk); p = .001 (intermediate vs high risk)) displayed better discrimination ability than TNM staging (T1 vs T2: p = .358; T2 vs T3: p = .171; T3 vs T4: p < .001) in patients at an early stage. Interpretation The prognosis of Chinese patients with eyelid SC has improved over the last 3 decades, and it is comparable to that of patients from other countries. This nomogram provides more accurate individualized estimates of survival for eyelid SC patients and may guide clinicians in their therapeutic decisions.

Oncoimmunology 2018; 7:e1475874. [PMID: 30228943 DOI: 10.1080/2162402x.2018.1475874] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2018] [Revised: 05/05/2018] [Accepted: 05/07/2018] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Ocular adnexal sebaceous carcinoma (OASC) is an aggressive malignancy that frequently recurs locally and metastasizes. Surgical extirpation may produce significant aesthetic morbidity, and effective systemic therapies for locally advanced or metastatic disease are largely ineffective. Immune checkpoint inhibitors have shown efficacy in the management of several solid tumors where tumor cell PD-L1 expression correlates with improved response. To determine whether OASC might be amenable to immune checkpoint blockade, we performed comprehensive immune profiling for CD3, CD8, PD-1, FOXP3, and PD-L1 in 24 patients with primary OASC. The composition, distribution and density of the tumor associated immune infiltrate were quantified by automated image analysis and correlated with measures of clinical outcome. Tumor cells in 12 OASCs (50%) expressed PD-L1. Higher densities of CD3+ (p = 0.01), CD8+ (p = 0.006), and PD-1+ (p = 0.024) tumor-associated T cells were associated with higher T category (≥T3a per the 7th edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer staging manual). Higher tumor cell expression of PD-L1 correlated with higher density of PD-1+ tumor-associated T cells (p = 0.021). Since a CD3+ CD8+ PD-1 + T-cell infiltrate represents a "suppressed T-cell phenotype" apparently permissive toward OASC progression, our findings provide a mechanistic rationale for the effective application of immune checkpoint blockade in OASC to abrogate PD-1/PD-L1 interaction and effectively unleash the immune infiltrate to treat higher-stage tumors.

Abstract
A 60-year-old male presented with a 6-month-old history of a left upper lid mass. The mass was excised, and histopathological evaluation showed a well-circumscribed, multinodular, intradermal tumor consisting of round-to-oval cells with round nuclei and mucin filled cysts. On immunohistochemical analysis, the tumor cells stained positively for cytokeratin (CK)-7, CK-8, estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), mucicarmine, synaptophysin, gross cystic disease fluid protein-15 (GCDFP-15), and neuron-specific enolase (NSE). A diagnosis of endocrine mucin-producing sweat gland carcinoma (EMPSGC) of the eyelid was made and at 6-month follow-up, no recurrence was noted. In this communication, we discuss the pathology and treatment options of EMPSGC of the eyelid. Although an uncommon entity, EMPSGC may be considered as a differential when encountered with a suspicious, potentially malignant eyelid mass.

Abstract
Sebaceous gland carcinoma (SGC) is a rare, but life-threatening condition with a predilection for the periocular region. Eyelid SGC can be broadly categorised into two subtypes, namely either nodular or pagetoid with the latter being more aggressive and requiring radical excision to save life. We have identified key altered microRNAs (miRNA) involved in SGC shared by both subtypes, hsa-miR-34a-5p and hsa-miR-16-5p. However, their gene targets BCL2 and MYC were differentially expressed with both overexpressed in pagetoid but unchanged in nodular suggesting different modes of action of these two miRNAs on BCL/MYC expression. Hsa-miR-150p is nodular-specifically overexpressed, and its target ZEB1 was significantly downregulated in nodular SGC suggesting a tumour suppressor role. Invasive pagetoid subtype demonstrated specific overexpression of hsa-miR-205 and downregulation of hsa-miR-199a. Correspondingly, miRNA gene targets, EZH2 (by hsa-miR-205) and CD44 (by hsa-miR-199a), were both overexpressed in pagetoid SGC. CD44 has been identified as a potential cancer stem cell marker in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and its overexpression in pagetoid cells represents a novel treatment target. Aberrant miRNAs and their gene targets have been identified in both SGC subtypes, paving the way for better molecular understanding of these tumours and identifying new treatment targets.

Abstract
Purpose To report a case of recurrent conjunctival papillary sebaceous carcinoma that was successfully treated by a combination of surgical resection, intraoperative topical mitomycin C application, and cryotherapy. Observations A woman in her 80s developed a yellowish papillary tumor pedunculated from the surface of the upper palpebral tarsal conjunctiva in her left eye. She was histopathologically diagnosed as having sebaceous carcinoma by an excisional biopsy. We performed en bloc resection of the lateral one-third of the posterior lamella including the cutaneous margin of the upper eyelid as well as reconstruction of the defected portion by a switch-flap from the ipsilateral lower eyelid. Histopathologically, because the tumor was restricted to the epithelial region with minimal invasion into the tarsus, we diagnosed the patient to have conjunctival papillary sebaceous carcinoma. Nine months after the surgery, the tumor recurred and was resected and treated by intraoperative mitomycin C. Four months later, the tumor regrew at the resected margins and was treated by resection combined with mitomycin C and cryotherapy. After these combination treatments, the tumor did not recur for at least 1 year postoperatively. Conclusion and Importance Although sebaceous carcinoma usually originates from the meibomian gland cells or less frequently from the Zeis or Moll gland cells, it rarely occurs from bulbar or palpebral conjunctival cells. Because sebaceous carcinoma sometimes shows a pagetoid growth pattern, it can recur even after en bloc resection with a negative study for tumor cells at the surgical margins. The recurrent sebaceous carcinoma cells showed an intraepithelial growth pattern. Considering this superficial growth property, it may be effective to apply intraoperative mitomycin C and cryotherapy treatment combined with surgical resection to reduce the possibility of recurrence of presumed conjunctival papillary sebaceous carcinoma, although mitomycin C alone seems to be insufficient as an adjunctive treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND p53 is a stress-activated tumour suppressor gene, and its mutation has been associated with solid tumours including non-melanoma skin cancers. Sestrin2 expression is associated with DNA damage and oxidative stress and has been described as a downstream target of p53 network. However, its role in sebaceous gland carcinoma (SGC) remains unexplored. OBJECTIVES To determine the role of p53 and its downstream target gene sestrin2 expression and p53 gene mutation status in SGC. METHODS Twenty cases of eyelid SGC tumour and circulating cell-free DNA (ccfDNA) were subjected to mutational analysis of p53 gene. p53 and sesrin2 expression was evaluated by immunohistochemistry. Results were correlated with the clinicopathological features of eyelid SGC. RESULTS p53 gene mutations was detected in 25% of the SGC cases. A C>T transition was identified in exon 6 in a single patient in both tumour and ccfDNA. A G>T transversion leading to amino acid change D259Y was seen in four patients. A splice site mutation affected a single case in exon 6. p53 expression was observed in 55% SGC. Loss of sestrin2 in 55% SGC cases correlated with poor tumour differentiation (P=0.0001), upper eyelid involvement (P=0.004), p53 mutation (P=0.039) and with mutant p53 expression (P=0.0001). CONCLUSION Sestrin2 expression was found to be significantly reduced in p53 mutated SGC cases and in cases with strong p53 nuclear immunopositivity, suggesting that loss of sestrin2 may be of biological significance in the development of SGC and as a key downstream component of p53 tumour suppression network in eyelid SGC.

Abstract
Sebaceous carcinoma (SC) is a neoplasm derived from the adnexal epithelium of the sebaceous glands, and most studies on this neoplasm have been conducted in Caucasians. We retrospectively reviewed the records of 29 patients with SC (16 extraocular and 13 ocular lesions) who were diagnosed from 2001 to 2014 to analyze the clinical and histopathological features of SC in the Korean population. Sixteen of the patients were women and 13 were men. There was an equal sex distribution for extraocular lesions, and a female predilection (M:F = 1:1.6) for ocular lesions. The mean ages at presentation of extraocular and ocular lesions were 69.19 ± 37.19 (range, 32-87) and 67.46 ± 24.46 (range, 43-85) years, respectively. Most lesions occurred in the eyelid (13/29, 44.83%), and most extraocular lesions occurred in the head and neck area (13/16, 81.25%). There was no recurrence or death during the follow-up period. Most lesions were poorly differentiated (extraocular, 43.75%; ocular, 38.46%), had a lobular infiltrative growth pattern (extraocular, 68.75%; ocular, 76.92%), and were basaloid (extraocular, 56.25%; ocular, 61.54%). Only 5 cases (2 extraocular and 3 ocular lesions) showed pagetoid spread. Extraocular lesions were marginally more common than the ocular form. There were higher incidences in elderly patients, who also had the highest incidence of eyelid lesions. The proportion of cells with sebaceous differentiation and prominent growth patterns were variable. Our results show that SC may not be very aggressive in Koreans.

Sebaceous gland carcinoma of the ocular adnexa - variability in clinical and histological appearance with analysis of immunohistochemical staining patterns. Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol 2017; 255:2277-2285. [PMID: 28741159 DOI: 10.1007/s00417-017-3738-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2017] [Revised: 06/10/2017] [Accepted: 06/27/2017] [Indexed: 10/19/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of the study was to evaluate the characteristics of sebaceous gland carcinoma (SGC) of the ocular adnexae, which is due to a high variability in clinical, histological and immunohistochemical characteristics often challenging to diagnose. METHODS Records of six patients with SGC were reviewed, who underwent surgical excision and who were histologically diagnosed with SGC. For comparison, there were specimens from four patients with basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and four patients with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Histological and immunohistochemical analysis included stains for HE, cytokeratins (CKpan, Cam5.2), epithelial membrane antigen (EMA), androgen receptor (AR441), perforin and adipophilin. RESULTS SGC's were located in the upper (n = 2) or lower (n = 4) eyelid and were associated with various presenting clinical signs including chalazion-like lesions with pyogenic granuloma (n = 1), papillomatous conjunctival tumors (n = 3), a hyperkeratotic exophytic neoplasm (n = 1) and an ulcerating crusted lesion resembling chronic blepharitis (n = 1). The treatment was tumor resection, followed (if necessary) by adjuvant therapy with topical Mitomycin C (n = 2). Histologic characteristics included basophilic pleomorphic cells with vacuolated cytoplasm, prominent nucleoli, mitotic figures and in some cases pagetoid spread (n = 2). CKpan, EMA and Cam5.2 showed strong positive immunoreactivity in all specimens (SGC, BCC, SCC). Perforin immunostaining showed a varying, but overall weak, non-specific cytoplasmatic staining reaction in all lesions. AR441 positivity was noted with variable intensity in almost all lesions and in particular in pagetoid spread in contrast to non-tumor cells. Adipophilin showed an annular staining of lipid granules in immature sebaceous cells in SGC in contrast to a more granular staining pattern in BCC and SCC. CONCLUSION SGCs display a variety of clinical signs and may mimic many other lesions. Tumor resection, followed by histological and immunohistochemical analysis, leads to the diagnosis and initiation of the proper treatment regimen. Herein, immunohistochemistry showed an unequivocal profile in SGC and did not allow for an exact differentiation from BCC and SCC by immunohistochemical means only. An extended evaluation of HE stains remains essential. However, immunohistochemistry can make relevant contributions to the diagnosis of SGC, especially in cases of inconclusive histology, by positive staining for adipophilin in immature sebaceous cells or by AR441 labeling in cases of pagetoid spread.

Abstract
PURPOSE To identify risk factors for local recurrence and metastasis of sebaceous gland carcinoma (SGC) after wide excision with paraffin section control. DESIGN Retrospective, observational case-control study. METHODS Setting: Single institution. PATIENT POPULATION Thirty-four patients with SGC who had undergone excision with 5-mm surgical margins and paraffin section pathologic analysis. Observational Procedures: The following were considered potential risk factors for local recurrence/metastasis of SGC: patient's sex, patient's age, initial diagnosis at other clinics, topical treatments at other clinics, interval between appearance of symptoms and referral to our institution, tumor location, tumor origin, tumor presentation pattern, T category, tumor size, presence/or absence of pagetoid spread, tumor differentiation, mitosis grade, growth pattern. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the actual risk factors. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Risk factors for local recurrence or metastasis of SGC after wide excision with paraffin section control. RESULTS Involvement of both upper and lower eyelids, topical treatments at other clinics, multicentric origin, diffuse pattern, stage T3a, large tumor size, and a nonlobular pattern significantly influenced local recurrence/metastasis (P < .050). Pagetoid spread tended to affect local recurrence/metastasis (P = .052). The other items did not significantly influence local recurrence/metastasis (P > .050). CONCLUSIONS This study identified risk factors for local recurrence or metastasis of SGC after wide excision with paraffin section pathologic analysis. The results of this study will be helpful to surgeons when planning additional management, such as map biopsy or adjuvant treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE Orbital exenteration (OE) is an aggressive operative undertaking that results in a disfiguring and dysfunctional outcome for patients. The purpose of our study was to determine the survival outcome for patients who underwent OE for malignant disease that had invaded the orbit. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted an ambispective cohort study based on a review of the records of 31 consecutive patients who had undergone OE within John Hunter Hospital. The study period was 2006 to 2013. The predictor variables were the demographic, tumor site, and clinicopathologic characteristics that might influence survival. The secondary outcome variable was survival. Descriptive statistics were calculated for the categorical and continuous variables. Kaplan-Meier estimates of the survival distribution were plotted. We also performed a review of published studies and a meta-analysis to investigate the nature of OE performed by various surgical disciplines. RESULTS Of the 31 patients included in the present study, 24 were men and 7 were women. The mean age was 65 years. Of the 31 cases, 15 were squamous cell carcinoma, 8 were basal cell carcinoma, and 8 were a mixture of other pathologic types. The time to median (50%) survival for all patients was 78.4 months. The 1-year survival rate was 93.4% and the 5-year survival rate was 54.1%. Although not statistically significant, notable differences were found in the interval to death with respect to the identification of perineural invasion, lymphovascular invasion, and histopathologic features. The review of published studies suggested a difference in the histologic features and location of the disorder treated, the extent of OE undertaken, and the method of reconstruction between the ophthalmology and nonophthalmology surgical disciplines. CONCLUSIONS Although OE results in significant disfigurement and dysfunction, it does provide good survival outcomes, given the extent of disease at presentation, evident in our group of patients. Continuation of the study, with greater numbers of patients, will serve to increase the statistical power of our observations.

Abstract
Sebaceous carcinoma is a malignancy arising in the periocular region that can lead to blindness and tumor-related metastases. This study is a review of published literature and personal experience. This malignancy can arise from the sebaceous units in the tarsus (meibomian glands), in association with the cilia (Zeis glands), in the brow, and in the caruncle. There is a tendency for diffuse intraepithelial growth (pagetoid spread) that can be clinically invisible. Detection before lymph node metastasis is critical. This malignancy often masquerades as chronic unilateral conjunctivitis or blepharitis, typically in older patients. Management includes a 2-step approach with step 1 focused on eyelid and conjunctival map biopsies to determine the full extent of solid deep tumor and pagetoid spread. After complete review of all biopsies, step 2 is performed using local resection for all deep tumor, cryotherapy to pagetoid disease, and reconstruction. In most cases, the posterior lamella of eyelid is sacrificed with tumor removal, whereas the anterior lamella of the eyelid can be saved. After removal and cryotherapy, immediate reconstruction, using clean instruments, with buccal membrane graft for the posterior lamella and skin flap for the anterior lamella, is developed. For persistent or recurrent pagetoid disease, cryotherapy, topical mitomycin C, or plaque radiotherapy is provided. Exenteration is sometimes necessary. Sebaceous carcinoma, if detected early, can be managed with carefully planned map biopsy to determine tumor extent, followed by local resection, cryotherapy, and eyelid reconstruction. Orbital exenteration is occasionally necessary.

Abstract
Sebaceous carcinoma of the oral cavity is extremely rare. To date, only 9 cases of primary sebaceous carcinoma involving the oral cavity have been reported in the English literature, with the majority of cases occurring on the buccal mucosa. This report describes a case of sebaceous carcinoma involving the maxillary gingiva. To our knowledge this is the first reported case of sebaceous carcinoma of the gingiva.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine the efficacy of adipophilin immunohistochemistry in the diagnosis of sebaceous carcinoma of the ocular adnexal region and to provide the guidelines for interpretation of this immunostain. DESIGN Retrospective, histopathologic case series. PARTICIPANTS A total of 25 patients with sebaceous carcinoma, 21 patients with basal cell carcinoma, 22 patients with conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma, 9 patients with cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, and 5 patients with conjunctival mucoepidermoid carcinoma. METHODS Immunohistochemical staining for adipophilin was performed on paraffin-embedded tissues and correlated with hematoxylin-eosin, periodic acid-Schiff (PAS), and mucicarmine-stained preparations. Immunostaining was quantified by light microscopy and with a computerized image analysis system of scanned images. Statistical analysis was performed to compare immunostaining patterns within the tumor categories by stage and grade, between the different neoplasms, and for correlation between light microscopy observations and computerized image analysis. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Localization of adipophilin immunostain, intensity of immunostaining, percent of immunoreactive cells, percentages of vacuolar staining and granular staining, and vacuole size. RESULTS Adipophilin expression was observed in 100% of sebaceous carcinomas, 100% of cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas, 95% of basal cell carcinomas, 73% of conjunctival squamous cell carcinomas, and 60% of mucoepidermoid carcinomas. Sebaceous carcinomas demonstrated significantly stronger adipophilin expression, a greater number of intracytoplasmic vacuoles, and larger vacuoles. The specificity and sensitivity of adipophilin immunostaining in the diagnosis of sebaceous carcinoma were both 100% when more than 5% of the staining occurred in vacuoles (<95% granular staining). The diagnostic sensitivity and specificity were 100% and 96%, respectively, when the staining was graded as moderately or strongly intense and were 92% and 85% when the vacuoles were greater than 1.5 μm in diameter. CONCLUSIONS Although upregulation of neoplastic steatogenesis is observed in both sebaceous and nonsebaceous carcinomas, the pattern and intensity of adipophilin immunostaining are helpful in distinguishing sebaceous carcinoma from other neoplasms with overlapping histology.
