Intraoral sebaceous carcinoma (SC) is a rare tumour in the oral cavity thought to arise from malignant transformation of oral sebaceous glands. To our knowledge, only six cases of intraoral SC have been reported in the English language literature. The purpose of the present article is to report an additional case and review the literature.
