Abstract. Purpose:To report the effect of palliative radiotherapy in a case of advanced sebaceous carcinoma presumably originating from the lacrimal gland. Case:A 37-year-old male presented with proptosis of the right eye since 6 months before associated with pain. Corrected visual acuity was 1.2 right and visual acuity was 1.5(n.c.)left. Computed tomography showed right orbital tumor with bone destruction. Positron emitting tomography-computed tomography showed metastasis to the lymph glands and multiple osseous metastases. The patient elected palliative therapy only. The pain increased 4 months later, necessitating radiotherapy totaling 39 Gy. The orbital lesion decreased together with improved cosmetic outlook and decreased pain. The effect lasted until the patient died of pancytopenia 8 months after his first visit. Conclusion:Palliative radiotherapy was effective for advanced carcinoma of sebaceous gland and improved quality of life.
