Sebaceous carcinoma of trunk with bilateral axillary lymph node metastasis: a rare presentation of malignant adnexal tumor in young adult.

Malignant adnexal tumors of skin are rare. Sebaceous carcinoma-a rare and aggressive cutaneous tumor-is frequently located in the periorbital region. Malignant adnexal tumors of sebaceous carcinoma type on trunk with axillary lymph node and distant metastasis in young adult is rare. The incidence of extraocular sebaceous carcinoma has been expected to be 0.06 per 100 000 person-years with an increased incidence in elderly patients and men. With a note of mimicking benign dermatologic conditions, definitive diagnosis of sebaceous carcinomas is often hindered, increasing morbidity and mortality for patients. Herein, we present a case of a 35-year-old man with a large ulcero-proliferating lesion of trunk region previously resected for a small swelling and eventually presented with the recurrent lesion and diagnosed as sebaceous carcinoma of trunk with bilateral axillary lymphnode and distant bone metastasis demonstrating several diagnostic and management challenges.
