Reports of two cases of sebaceous carcinoma occurring in the eyelid are presented. They were diagnosed using imprint smears and frozen sections during operation. In case 1, a 69-year-old woman had a nodule in the lateral portion of the right lower eyelid. Imprint smear cytology revealed characteristics of adenocarcinoma cells except for demonstrable mucin. Oil red 0 (ORO) staining of frozen sections clearly demonstrated intracytoplasmic lipid droplets. In case 2, an 83-year-old man had a tumor involving two thirds of the left upper eyelid. Imprint smears contained cohesive clusters of small tumor cells resembling basal cell carcinoma cells. However, ORO staining revealed intracytoplasmic lipid droplets. Histologically, it was less differentiated than sebaceous carcinoma. It is not always easy to differentiate sebaceous carcinoma clinically from chalazion or blepharitis. If chalazion-like localized swelling in the eyelid with or without inflammation is recurrent or persistent in the same area, cytological examination of secreted or aspirated material should be performed to rule out malignancy. An adequate understanding of cytological features of sebaceous carcinoma as well as ORO staining permits differentiation from other tumors or inflammation. Thus, a careful cytological examination appears to be essential for early detection of sebaceous carcinoma.
