Abstrakt:	Eyelid sebaceous carcinoma is a rare malignant tumor. Surgical excision is generally the standard curative treatment. However, in cases where surgery is not possible due to locally advanced tumors, definitive radiotherapy can be considered an option. A 71-year-old man presented with a history of eyelid sebaceous carcinoma dating back two years. The tumor, measuring 93 x 55 x 56 mm and located on the right upper eyelid, was not surgically resected. He was then treated with intensity-modulated radiotherapy, receiving a total dose of 70 Gy in 35 fractions. After 24 months, the patient shows no local recurrence.
