Int J Dermatol 2024. [PMID: 38856083 DOI: 10.1111/ijd.17283] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2024] [Revised: 05/09/2024] [Accepted: 05/11/2024] [Indexed: 06/11/2024]
Abstract
Sebaceous carcinoma (SC) is a rare neoplasm affecting periocular and extraocular sites. If inadequately treated, it can recur and cause morbidity. Specific management guidelines have not been established. Wide local excision (WLE) has been traditionally used; however, Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) can be advantageous because of complete margin assessment and tissue-sparing nature. This analysis aims to systematically review the surgical modalities used for the management of SC. Articles meeting eligibility criteria were identified using MEDLINE (via PubMed), Embase, Cochrane, and Scopus databases. All studies investigating surgical management of SC with WLE or MMS were considered. Seventy studies met inclusion criteria, including retrospective cohort studies, case series, and case reports. WLE was used in 32 studies, MMS in 29, and MMS and WLE in 9. Subgroup analysis showed that MMS has lower recurrence rates. For WLE, local, regional, and distant recurrence rates were 23.4%, 13.3%, and 11.0%, respectively, and for MMS, 6.8%, 4.3%, and 4.6%, respectively. Patients treated with WLE were more likely to have local recurrence than patients treated with MMS (P = 0.001). WLE cases were more likely to have a regional (P = 0.05) and distant recurrence (P = 0.001). Limitations of the study include heterogeneity of case reports, case series, and retrospective studies, variable follow-up times between the two groups, and large tumors included in the WLE category. In addition, disease-specific survival was not evaluated. MMS cases showed a superior outcome for local, regional, and distant recurrence, making it a good option for the management of SC.

Abstract
Eyelid sebaceous carcinoma is a rare malignant tumor. Surgical excision is generally the standard curative treatment. However, in cases where surgery is not possible due to locally advanced tumors, definitive radiotherapy can be considered an option. A 71-year-old man presented with a history of eyelid sebaceous carcinoma dating back two years. The tumor, measuring 93 x 55 x 56 mm and located on the right upper eyelid, was not surgically resected. He was then treated with intensity-modulated radiotherapy, receiving a total dose of 70 Gy in 35 fractions. After 24 months, the patient shows no local recurrence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nevus sebaceous (NS) is a rare congenital skin lesion affecting approximately 0.3% of all newborns. Although benign, NS lesions can harbor malignant secondary tumors. The published rate of development of these malignant tumors varies. This meta-analysis aimed to identify the rate of malignant and benign secondary neoplasms occurring in NS. METHODS A literature search was conducted using PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science from inception to April 2023. Eligible studies reported incidence or risk of secondary neoplasms in patients with NS. Two independent reviewers screened studies, extracted data, and assessed the quality of included studies. The primary outcome was the pooled incidence of secondary neoplasms. Studies with sample sizes greater than 50 patients were eligible for meta-analysis using the random-effects model. RESULTS Twenty-eight studies were identified, 22 of which were eligible for meta-analysis. The overall rate of secondary neoplasms was 12.8% (95% confidence interval [Cl], 9.2%-17.6%). The rates of development of malignant and benign tumors were 2.4% (95% CI, 1.4%-4.1%) and 10.3% (95% CI, 7.5%-13.9%), respectively. The rate of development of basal cell carcinoma was 1.7% (95% CI, 0.9%-3.2%), whereas the rate of the development of syringocystadenoma papilliferum was 3.6% (95% CI, 2.5%-5.3%) and that if trichoblastoma was 2.6% (95% CI, 1.7%-3.8%). CONCLUSIONS Although the rate of development of malignant tumors within a primary NS lesion is low, it is not negligible. Prophylactic early excision remains a viable approach to prevent secondary malignant neoplasms, address cosmetic and functional complications, and preempt the need for complex reconstruction in the future. We propose that resection of NS lesions in childhood remains a reasonable first-line option in the appropriate patient keeping in mind that it may leave an undesirable scar.

Abstract
We report here a case of nevus sebaceous in a 55-year-old male, who presented with a 50-year history of an asymptomatic swelling in his right scalp. The solitary, yellowish, expansile plaque over the scalp gradually became lobulated and turned dark-pigmented with spontaneous bleeding, itching discomfort, and occasional ulceration after scratching. The male's clinical presentation and histopathological findings were compatible with basal cell carcinoma arising in nevus sebaceous. At present, 5-aminolevulinic acid photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT) emerges as a novel treatment modality which has proved safe and effective. In this case, three sessions of photodynamic therapy in combination with surgical excision were performed, leaving mild pigmentation within 3 weeks. The patient showed good cosmetic outcome, minimal scarring on the right scalp without further complications, disease recurrence or metastasis after ALA-PDT within six months.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Extraocular sebaceous carcinoma (ESC) is a rare appendiceal skin tumor. In contrast to ocular sebaceous carcinoma, information about the exact cellular architecture of these lesions is scarce and the histogenesis of ESC is unknown. Here, we extend our previous study and investigate 28 extraocular carcinomas in comparison to 54 benign sebaceous tumors and 8 cases of normal sebaceous glands using a broad spectrum of antibodies against p63, several keratins, adipophilin, EMA, Ki67, androgen receptor, and mismatch repair proteins. This observational study demonstrates that p63- and K5/14-positive basaloid cells are key cells in normal sebaceous gland and in all sebaceous tumors and that these basaloid cells give rise to EMA+, adipophilin+ sebocytes, and K5/14+, K7±, K10± ductal structures. Finally, about half of ESC is associated with superficial in situ neoplasia, which provides evidence that at least part of these carcinomas arises from flat superficial in situ carcinoma. In contrast to the normal sebaceous gland, about half of all sebaceous tumors lack keratin K7. MMR protein IHC-profiles role will be discussed.

Abstract
Sebaceous carcinoma (SC) is a rare tumor, accounting for approximately 0.7% of skin cancers. SC can be classified as ocular SC (OSC) or extraocular SC (EOSC) depending on its location. Because EOSC accompanied by metastases is rare, there is a paucity of data about EOSC accompanied by metastasis. This study presents a case of an aggressive EOSC of the scalp with lymph node metastases. The patient underwent wide local excision of the primary tumor with a 1 cm safety margin and bilateral radical lymph node dissection. However, recurrence was observed 1 month after surgery. Radiation therapy and resection were performed for the recurrent tumor. However, distant metastases to both lungs eventually occurred. Here, we describe a rare recurrent case of EOSC of the scalp with distant organ metastasis with a review of the literature.

Abstract
Cutaneous sebaceous neoplasms show a predilection for the head and neck area of adults and include tumours with benign behaviour, sebaceous adenoma and sebaceoma, and sebaceous carcinoma with potential for an aggressive disease course at the malignant end of the spectrum. The majority of tumours are solitary and sporadic, but a subset of tumours may be associated with Lynch syndrome, also known as hereditary non-polyposis colon cancer (HNPCC) and previously referred to as Muir-Torre syndrome (now known to be part of Lynch syndrome). This review provides an overview of the clinical and histological features of cutaneous sebaceous neoplasia with an emphasis on differentiating features and differential diagnosis. It also offers insights into the recently described molecular pathways involved in the development of sebaceous tumours and their association with Lynch syndrome.

Abstract
Sebaceous differentiation is commonly seen in cutaneous neoplasms, both in the context of lesions showing predominantly sebaceous differentiation (e.g., sebaceous adenoma, sebaceoma and sebaceous carcinoma), or as more focal sebaceous components in neoplasms with other primary lines of differentiation. Sebaceous changes can also be a component of benign cystic lesions or epidermal tumours, and sebaceous hyperplasia is commonly encountered. This review is intended to provide an overview of the cutaneous lesions with sebaceous differentiation, with a particular emphasis on facilitating histological diagnosis of neoplasms. In addition, the role of immunohistochemical studies is outlined, as well as the evaluation of potential cases of Muir-Torre syndrome.

Abstract
Nevus sebaceus is a hamartoma of the sebaceous gland that occurs congenitally, from which various secondary tumors can arise with a prevalence of 5%–6%. Benign neoplasms commonly arise from nevus sebaceous, but they have a very low malignant potential. Two neoplasms may occasionally arise within the same lesion, but it is rare for three or more neoplasms to occur in a nevus sebaceus simultaneously. A 61-year-old male patient was admitted to our hospital for a 4 cm×2.5 cm growing tumor in a verrucous form arising within a periauricular nevus sebaceus in the post auricle of the left ear that had developed 30 years earlier. The nodule was diagnosed as 3 different types of tumors: trichilemmoma, desmoplastic trichilemmoma, and basal cell carcinoma. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the coexistence of three different tumors arising from nevus sebaceous. It contain malignant neoplasm also. Surgeons should be aware of the need for close monitoring and early complete surgical excision of sebaceous nevus in order to improve patient outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nevus sebaceus of Jadassohn (NSJ) is a complex cutaneous hamartoma with various clinical appearances. AIM To describe different dermoscopic patterns of this nevus according to its evolutionary stages. METHODS This was an analytical study of NSJ carried out in the Department of Dermatology at the University Hospital Hassan II, Fez, Morocco. RESULTS Thirteen patients with a NSJ were enrolled in the study. Elevated verrucous plaques were noticed in 9 patients, homogeneous tumors were described in 2 NSJ, an alopecic patch was found in 1 case, and we had 1 case of malignant transformation into basal cell carcinoma. The dermoscopic aspects of NSJ described in our study were yellowish or brown globules aggregated in clusters on a yellow background. This pattern was significantly related to the first stage of an alopecic patch (p = 0.001). Whitish-yellow lobular aspect and grayish papillary appearance were significantly related to verrucous plaques (p = 0.003). Homogeneous yellow-whitish pattern was related to nodules (p = 0.005). CONCLUSION The establishment of specific dermoscopic features of NSJ according to its evolutionary stages is important for its diagnosis and especially its monitoring in order to detect malignant transformation.

Abstract
This article reviews several topics regarding sweat gland and sebaceous neoplasms. First, the clinicopathological characteristics of poroid neoplasms are summarized. It was recently reported that one-fourth of poroid neoplasms are composite tumors and one-fourth are apocrine type lesions. Recent progress in the immunohistochemical diagnosis of sweat gland neoplasms is also reviewed. CD117 can help to distinguish sweat gland or sebaceous tumors from other non-Merkel cell epithelial tumors of the skin. For immunohistochemical differential diagnosis between sweat gland carcinoma (SGC) other than primary cutanesous apocrine carcinoma and skin metastasis of breast carcinoma (SMBC), a panel of antibodies may be useful, including p63 (SGC+ , SMBC- ), CK5/6 (SGC+ , SMBC- ), podoplanin (SGC+ , SMBC- ) and mammaglobin (SGC- , SMBC+ ). Comparison of antibodies used for immunohistochemical diagnosis of sebaceous carcinoma (SC) suggests that adipophilin has the highest sensitivity and specificity. Some authors have found that immunostaining for survivin, androgen receptor and ZEB2/SIP1 has prognostic value for ocular SC, but not extraocular SC. In situ SC is rare, especially extraocular SC, but there have been several recent reports that actinic keratosis and Bowen's disease are the source of invasive SC. Finally, based on recent reports, classification of sebaceous neoplasms into three categories is proposed, which are sebaceoma (a benign neoplasm with well-defined architecture and no atypia), borderline sebaceous neoplasm (low-grade SC; an intermediate tumor with well-defined architecture and nuclear atypia) and SC (a malignant tumor with invasive growth and evident nuclear atypia).

Abstract
Several terms are widely used to define cutaneous lesions affecting the epidermis in association with extracutaneous lesions. Recently, based on the wide spectrum of cutaneous epidermal lesions, the various underlying molecular mechanisms and patterns of associated features have led to improved definitions of these disorders. Nevus sebaceous syndrome has been placed under the umbrella term of epidermal nevus syndrome, in which the nevus sebaceous, a congenital hamartomatous lesion of the epidermis, is associated with anomalies involving the brain, eyes, and bones. Nevus sebaceous and neurologic manifestations were evaluated particularly based on their degree of intellectual delay, seizure type, treatment response, and electroencephalography and neuroradiological findings. A review of the literature in this topic is reported.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sebaceous carcinoma is an uncommon adnexal neoplasm with a documented capability for regional and distant metastasis. Traditionally, sebaceous carcinoma has been associated with high rates of recurrence after excision. OBJECTIVE To review the current literature on sebaceous carcinoma and detail its epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical presentation, histopathology, diagnostic workup, treatment, and prognosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Literature review using PubMed search for articles related to sebaceous carcinoma. RESULTS Sebaceous carcinoma typically presents as a painless pink or yellow nodule. Diagnosis requires histopathologic examination, and immunohistochemical analysis often assists in the differentiation of sebaceous carcinoma from other benign and malignant skin neoplasms. Sebaceous carcinoma should prompt a workup for Muir-Torre syndrome. Periorbital sebaceous carcinoma has an increased tendency for regional metastasis, although cancer-specific mortality rates are similar among all anatomic locations. CONCLUSION Surgery is the preferred treatment for local disease. Limited data suggest that Mohs micrographic surgery may provide superior clinical outcomes, but more research is needed regarding the long-term outcomes. Radiation and systemic chemotherapy are reserved for recurrent or metastatic disease.

Abstract
We report a case of a 48-year-old Malay female who presented with multiple tumors arising from a large nevus sebaceus on her right parieto-temporal scalp. Histologically, the tumors corresponded to a sebaceoma with carcinomatous change, a poroma and a trichoblastoma. Immunohistochemical staining of the sebaceous tumor with p53 showed strong within the areas of carcinomatous change, while there was negative to weak staining within the sebaceoma-like areas. A discussion on the potential secondary neoplasms from a nevus sebaceus ensues, with a review of this literature on multiple tumors from a nevus sebaceus.

Abstract
"RASopathies" are a group of developmental syndromes with partly overlapping clinical symptoms that are caused by germline mutations of genes within the Ras/MAPK signaling pathway. Mutations affecting this pathway can also occur in a mosaic state, resulting in congenital syndromes often distinct from those generated by the corresponding germline mutations. For syndromes caused by mosaic mutations of the Ras/MAPK signaling pathway, the term "mosaic RASopathies" has been proposed. In the following article, genetic and phenotypic aspects of mosaic RASopathies will be discussed.

Abstract
Sebaceous carcinoma is a rare, aggressive adnexal tumor of unknown etiology; 75% of these tumors arise in the periocular region while 25% arise at extraocular sites. This cutaneous tumor is a diagnostic sign of Muir-Torre syndrome, a disorder associated with visceral malignancies and gene abnormalities. Patients with sebaceous carcinoma should therefore be carefully evaluated; a detailed personal and family history of cancer, a thorough physical examination, additional tests where appropriate, and close monitoring will all be required. We report 2 cases of extraocular sebaceous carcinoma and review the literature, focusing on the association between sebaceous carcinoma and Muir-Torre syndrome.

Abstract
Nevus sebaceous of Jadassohn is a hamartoma with a combination of abnormalities of the epidermis, hair follicles, and sebaceous and apocrine glands. Herein, we discuss the results of an extensive literature review on the topic of nevus sebaceous with a particular focus on the debate about the necessity for prophylactic excision. We also focus on the documentation of associated malignant tumors that were reported to develop within NS. In addition to reporting the number and types of neoplasms, we documented the recommendations of all authors for therapeutic handling of these nevi.

Abstract
The rates of distant metastases and tumor death in sebaceous carcinoma (SC) have been reported to be higher than those of other cutaneous carcinomas, such as squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and basal cell carcinoma (BCC), regardless of whether they occur in ocular or extraocular regions. Therefore, strict differentiation of SC from SCC and BCC is required. In this article, we report immunohistochemical findings of SC and compare these data to those of SCC, BCC, and sebaceoma. An immunohistochemical study was performed using 7 antibodies [anti-carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), anti-epithelial membrane antigen (EMA), anti-CA15-3, anti-CA19-9, anti-androgen receptor (AR), anti-epithelial antigen (Ber-EP4), and anti-adipophilin (ADP)] on 35 cases of SC (16 cases in ocular and 19 cases in extraocular regions) and 10 cases of each SCC (5 cases in ocular and 5 cases in extraocular regions), BCC (5 cases in ocular and 5 cases in extraocular regions), and sebaceoma (no cases arose on the eyelids). In summary, the typical immunophenotypes of SC were EMA+, CA15-3+, AR+, Ber-EP4-, and ADP+; those of sebaceoma were CEA-, EMA+, Ber-EP4-, and ADP+; those of SCC were CEA-, EMA+, CA19-9-, AR-, Ber-EP4-, and ADP-; and those of BCC were CEA-, EMA-, CA15-3-, Ber-EP4+, and ADP-. Other antibody tests for each neoplasm were positive in about half of the cases. The detection of AR and ADP was useful for differentiating SC from SCC, whereas the determination of EMA, CA15-3, Ber-EP4, and ADP was valuable in differentiating SC from BCC.

Abstract
Adipophilin is a monoclonal antibody against a protein on the surface of intracellular lipid droplets, and it was recently shown to be expressed in sebocytes and sebaceous lesions. This study examines adipophilin expression in various sebaceous lesions and other cutaneous tumors with a clear cell histology that may mimic sebaceous differentiation. A total of 117 cutaneous clear cell lesions including 16 sebaceous adenomas, 25 sebaceous carcinomas, 8 basal cell carcinomas, 12 squamous cell carcinomas, 6 xanthomas, 10 xanthelasmas, 10 xanthogranulomas, 4 balloon cell nevi, 5 trichilemmomas, 8 clear cell hidradenomas, and 13 metastatic renal cell carcinomas were examined using immunohistochemistry for the expression of adipophilin. Of these 117 lesions, 42 (36%) were from the periocular region. Adipophilin was expressed in 16 of 16 (100%) sebaceous adenomas, 23 of 25 (92%) sebaceous carcinomas, 10 of 10 (100%) xanthelasmas, 9 of 10 (90%) xanthogranulomas, 6 of 6 (100%) xanthomas, and 9 of 13 (62.5%) metastatic renal cell carcinomas. The characteristic staining pattern differed between sebaceous and non-sebaceous tumors with the former showing a membranous vesicular pattern and the latter being more granular. Adipophilin expression was not seen in any of the other lesions with clear cell histology, basal cell carcinomas, or squamous cell carcinomas, including cases that had focal clear cell differentiation. Adipophilin can be valuable in an immunohistochemical panel when evaluating cutaneous lesions with clear cell histology as it identifies intracytoplasmic lipid vesicles in sebaceous and xanthomatous lesions. In periocular lesions, it is effective in helping to exclude basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma when sebaceous carcinoma is under consideration. Adipophilin expression is not as useful for the differential diagnosis that includes metastatic renal cell carcinoma, a rare but important, diagnostic differential. The pattern of adipophilin reactivity is important to observe as membranous vesicular staining is suggestive of intracellular lipids whereas granular cytoplasmic reactivity is not.

Abstract
Sebaceous neoplasia comprises a spectrum ranging from benign to malignant. Proper histological identification is important for treatment, prognosis and potential association with the Muir-Torre syndrome (MTS). Our increased understanding of the significance and pathogenesis of these tumours has led to improved risk stratification, screening recommendations, and treatment of patients with an initial presentation of a sebaceous tumour. This review focuses on the diagnostic and histological features of sebaceous lesions, the MTS, and recent insights into the molecular pathogenesis of sebaceous tumours.
