Abstract
Sebaceous cysts are among the most frequent skin lesions that are removed in an outpatient clinic. We encountered a case of malignant transformation in a long-standing sebaceous cyst of the scalp in 65 year old male. Carcinoma developing in sebaceous cysts has been frequently reported in the literature. This neoplasm often arises in the scalp of elderly in long existing cysts.
