Abstract
Sebaceous carcinoma is an uncommon primary cutaneous neoplasm which may be associated with mismatch repair (MMR) abnormalities and sometimes with Muir-Torré syndrome. These neoplasms rarely arise in the ovary within a teratoma/ dermoid cyst. We report a sebaceous carcinoma arising in an ovarian teratoma in a 49-yr old (the 14th case reported in the literature) which exhibited loss of expression of MMR proteins MSH2 and MSH6. A germline mutation c.1102C>T was present in exon 7 of the MSH2 gene, the first report of a germline mutation associated with this tumor type. In reporting this case, we review prior reports of primary ovarian sebaceous carcinoma. We recommend that all sebaceous carcinomas of the ovary undergo immunohistochemistry for MMR proteins for investigation of possible Lynch syndrome.

Neuropathology 2022; 42:289-294.

Abstract
Among intracranial cystic lesions, dermoid cysts and epidermoid cysts are relatively common benign tumors. In a small number of these tumors, it is known that squamous cell carcinomas arise in the lining epithelium of the cysts. Among tumors derived from the appendage, only one case of hidradenoma within a dermoid cyst and no cases of sebaceous tumor have been reported previously. In the present case, a protruding lesion was present in the cystic wall, and it was composed of two cell types: sebaceous cells (sebocytes) and basaloid/germinated cells, being characteristic of this tumor. It is essential to distinguish it from other sebaceous lesions such as hyperplasia, sebaceoma, sebaceous carcinoma, and basal cell carcinoma with sebaceous differentiation derived from the epidermis. The critical distinguishing points in making a differential diagnosis among these lesions are the ratio of the two cell types and the presence or absence of other components such as hair sacs, invasion or cellular atypia. Immunohistochemical examination revealed that the tumor cells were positive for the epithelial markers, such as cytokeratin (CK)14, p63, p40, high-molecular CK, and adipophilin; these findings are peculiar to sebaceous adenoma. Although there have been several similar case reports of sebaceous tumors associated with dermmoid cysts in the ovaries, most of the intracranial lesions were squamous cell carcinomas that developed within the cysts, and there has been no precedent showing an association with a sebaceous tumor. The present report describes the first case of sebaceous adenoma that occurred in an intracranial dermoid cyst.

Impact of surgery and adjuvant treatment on the outcome of extraocular sebaceous carcinoma: a systematic review and individual patient's data analysis of 206 cases. Int J Dermatol 2019; 59:494-505.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Extraocular sebaceous carcinoma (EOSC) is an aggressive malignancy of the sebaceous gland. Surgery is considered the cornerstone of treatment, but there is lack of clarity about extent and adjuvant treatment. METHODS We conducted a systematic review and analysis of individual patient data of all published cases of EOSC to look into demography, pattern of care, importance of type of surgery, and other adjuvant treatment and survival outcome. A search of PubMed and Google Scholar was done with the key words sebaceous carcinoma, extraocular sebaceous carcinoma, and Muir-Torre syndrome till December 2017. The data were compiled in an Excel chart and analyzed using SPSS IBM software. RESULTS Data of 206 patients were retrieved. Median age at presentation was 65 years (range: 11-96 years). Surgery was performed in all except 13 patients. Of these 13, eight were deemed inoperable for extensive disease, and five had metastatic disease. Median PFS and OS for the entire cohort were 84 months (95% CI: 10-158 months) and 92 months (95% CI: 59-126 months). Univariate analysis revealed significantly poor survival for patients with a metastatic disease, regional nodal metastasis, and those with Mohs micrographic or incomplete surgery. CONCLUSION EOSC is a disease of elderly patients with good prognosis. Complete surgery with regional lymph node dissection is standard treatment. The role of adjuvant radiotherapy is debatable but can be considered in patients with incomplete surgery or high-risk factors.

Abstract
Sebaceous carcinomas are rare tumors, with the majority of described cases occurring within the eyelid. To date, there are nine documented reports of sebaceous carcinoma arising within a mature cystic teratoma of the ovary. Although the majority of cases originate from idiopathic mutations, there exists a strong association between this rare tumor and hereditary syndromes of DNA mismatch repair deficiency, such as Lynch syndrome and the lesser-known Muir-Torre syndrome. Here we present the case of a 67 year-old woman with a longstanding history of a small left ovarian cyst with sonographic features of an ovarian dermoid. After nine years, the left adnexal mass was noted to have enlarged, and she underwent a laparoscopic bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. The final pathology was reported as sebaceous carcinoma arising within a mature cystic teratoma. The patient underwent subsequent surgical staging and has been followed for eight months without evidence of disease. This report includes a review of the current literature, as well as a brief discussion of the clinical management of women with sebaceous carcinoma arising within a mature teratoma. Additionally, we comment on the broader, hereditary significance of a diagnosis of sebaceous carcinoma, and use this case to demonstrate the thorough histologic and genetic evaluation that is recommended for patients diagnosed with this rare tumor.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Most ectopic sebaceous glands have been reported in the tissues of ectodermal origin. However, there are relatively a few reports of ectopic sebaceous glands in the oesophagus, an organ of endodermal origin. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of an asymptomatic 54-year-old man with ectopic oesophageal sebaceous glands. These lesions were incidentally observed in the distal oesophagus during screening endoscopy of gastric neoplasm and confirmed by histologic analysis. CONCLUSION Surveillance or resection with regard to ectopic sebaceous glands in the oesophagus is generally not required since there is no known malignant potential. However, anti-reflux treatment may be sometimes needed, if such symptoms are present in patients. Also, these lesions should be differentiated from other pathologic lesions of oesophagus that need to be treated. Thus, greater attention of endoscopists is required for detection and differential diagnosis of these lesions. The narrow-band imaging mode and/or endoscopic biopsy may be helpful.
