Sebaceous Carcinoma or BCC with sebaceous differentiation? No dermal mucin around basaloid infiltrating epithelial aggregates. No stromal-epithelial clefts. Only focal palisading, and atypia that exceeds the expected degree on a BCC. But there isn't the in situ Pagetoid spreading expected in Sebaceous Carcinoma, so I find this case difficult.

Favor Sebaceous Carcinoma.

Ductal differentiation makes me think of porocarcinoma.

The tumor cells are arising from basal layer, basaloid pattern. There are areas showing clear cell changes, but SGC usually shows severe atypia. second SGC in lower lid is uncommon

BAsal cell carcinoma

High powers are not great but looks to have the squared of nuclei sign, and focally the applique sign (peritumoural subnecrosis), published by Kazakov's group for sebaceous carcinoma.

Site & other morphology obviously good for the diagnosis too.

Squared-Off Nuclei and "Appliqué" Pattern as a Histopathological Clue to Periocular Sebaceous Carcinoma: A Clinicopathological Study of 50 Neoplasms From 46 Patients.

 

Abstract

The histopathological diagnosis of periocular sebaceous carcinoma can be difficult in poorly differentiated cases showing few mature sebocytes. The authors examined 50 periocular sebaceous carcinomas from 46 patients to determine the frequency of 2 features seen in this neoplasm, namely cells with squared-off nuclei and so-called "appliqué" pattern (peritumoral subnecrosis of peripherally located neoplastic cells). Neoplastic cells with squared-off nuclei were found in varying numbers in both the intraepithelial and dermal (invasive) components in all neoplasms, whereas the appliqué pattern was observed in a third of the cases. It is concluded that these features, taken together, may serve as a clue for the diagnosis of periocular sebaceous carcinoma.
