Today, the extraocular variant of sebaceous carcinoma is still being poorly recognized. This type of carcinoma is rarely diagnosed correctly, which, together with its aggressive behavior, contributes to its poor prognosis. We present a case of an 84-year-old man with a history of left nasal ala tumor formation, diagnosed morphologically and immunohistochemically as sebaceous carcinoma.
