rare skin cancer originating in oil-producing sebaceous glands
Sebaceous Carcinoma, also known as Sebaceous Gland Carcinoma, is a rare and aggressive form of skin cancer that originates in the sebaceous glands, which are responsible for producing oil (sebum) to lubricate the skin and hair. This type of cancer most commonly occurs on the eyelids but can also develop on other parts of the body. Early detection and treatment are crucial due to its potential to spread to other tissues and organs.
