Article Synopsis
- Sebaceous carcinoma is a rare aggressive tumor of skin glands, with no cases reported in the last decade at one medical center, particularly among Black Africans.

- The tumor was diagnosed as sebaceous carcinoma through histological examination after surgical excision, and the patient is currently doing well.
