Sebaceous carcinoma (SC) is a slow-growing but aggressive malignant skin tumour derived from sebaceous glands. SC most commonly occurs in the periocular region, whereas extraocular sites are rare. SC of the nasal dorsum is a rare pathology, and only a few cases are reported worldwide. Here, we report a case of an 80-year-old man who presented with a mass over the nasal dorsum, diagnosed morphologically and immunohistochemically as sebaceous carcinoma.

PRAME (PReferentially expressed Antigen in MElanoma) is a tumor-associated antigen first identified in tumor-reactive T-cell clones derived from a patient with metastatic melanoma. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) for PRAME is useful for diagnostic purposes to support a suspected diagnosis of melanoma. Anecdotally, PRAME has been observed to stain sebaceous units in glands in background skin.

Introduction: Sebaceous carcinoma (SC) is a rare malignancy and can be divided into two types, ocular and extra-ocular SC. Extra-ocular SC is typically associated with a better prognosis than ocular SC. However, extra-ocular SCs located in atypical areas, such as the inguinal region, along with multiple metastases, are uncommon and present significant challenges, often leading to poorer outcomes.

Hidradenocarcinoma (HAC) is a rare malignant neoplasm originating from eccrine sweat glands, often presenting diagnostic challenges because of its resemblance to other malignancies, particularly breast cancer when occurring in the chest region. This report describes 2 cases of HAC with axillary lymph node metastasis, both initially misinterpreted clinically. The first case involved a 63-year-old woman with a sternal mass, near the right breast, initially suspected to be a sebaceous cyst.
