Difficult for me. I would like a spot of Sebaceoma...but there are pleomorphism, mitosis and apoptotic necrosis ( not necrosis en masse ). So agree with Colleagues. Sebaceous Carcinoma, in situ!

Difficult to distinguish these borderline tumors- sebaceoma and low grade sebaceous carcinoma/sebaceous carcinoma in situ.

Thank you for your comments.

We went through the same thought process considering Sebaceoma versus carcinoma. However, the borders of the lesion are irregular and there is marked pleomorphism and mitotic activity. The lesion is 3.3 mm thick. There is infiltration of subcutaneous fat. Base on this, a diagnosis of extraocular sebaceous carcinoma was rendered. No comedo-necrosis is seen.

I'd favour sebaceoma. Ki67 (peripheral), p16 & p53 which should help. Does not appear invasive either (even if carcinoma), can do EVG.
