Core Tip
Core Tip: Sebaceous carcinoma (SC) is a rare malignant tumor of skin, mainly occurring in the head and neck, but rarely in the limbs. The diagnosis and treatment of SC remains unclear due to its rarity. Our patient presented with a skin mass with lung and brain lesions, which should be distinguished from skin metastasis of lung cancer. After comprehensive treatment, the patient achieved a good effect in the early stage, the later stage of the disease tended to be stable. It seems that cis-platinum combined with fluorouracil, vinorelbine combined with anlotinib hydrochloride may be an effective therapeutic regimen.
