Cited in Scopus: 3Sebaceous cell carcinoma (SebCC) is a malignancy that most commonly presents in the eyelid.1 Pagetoid spread to the conjunctiva has been well documented,1-3 but spread to the cornea is less common.4 We report a 64-year-old female who was diagnosed with pagetoid spread of SebCC to her right cornea. She initially presented with a 3-year history of red eyes and trichiasis. After multiple epilations, she was referred to the oculoplastics service for electrolysis. On examination, her visual acuity was 20/70 in the right eye and counting fingers in the left eye (the vision was limited due to a central stromal scar and a dense cataract).
