Popis: Sebaceous carcinoma of the oral region is a rare lesion arising predominantly in the parotid gland. We report a case of sebaceous carcinoma of the left buccal mucosa.A 78-year-old man was referred to our clinic complaining of a mass in the left buccal mucosa. The mass was widely based, firm and 50×40mm in size. Under the clinical diagnosis of a malignant tumor, a biopsy specimen was taken and a histopathological diagnosis of sebaceous carcinoma was obtained. Because of unfavorable laboratory data, an advanced age of 78, and no evidence of metastasis, only wide local resection was performed. The postoperative course is favorable, however, long-term follow-up should be continued.
