Sebaceous carcinoma (SC) is an aggressive malignancy derived from the sebaceous glands. SC is divided into two categories, ocular and extraocular. Extraocular SC is quite rare, and is also associated with the Muir-Torre syndrome, which is regarded as a subtype of Lynch syndrome.Here, we report a rare case of extraocular SC in the axilla in a 79-year-old woman that mimicked primary ectopic breast cancer.
