The histopathology of sebaceous carcinoma (SBC) can mimic other skin neoplasms, including basal cell carcinoma (BCC).Therefore, diagnostic biomarkers are needed for a subset of cases. Normal sebaceous glands express PRAME (PRAME nuclearreceptor transcriptional regulator), a melanoma-associated biomarker.Donell et al. showed that PRAME has strong immunoreactivity with basaloid sebocytes in SBC. Ng et al. reported patchy cytoplasmic staining in the germinative sebocytes only.Sebaceous glands (H&E stain and PRAME stain)

Objective: to evaluate the utility of PRAME immunohistochemistry as a diagnostic biomarker for SBC and its usefulness in the distinction of SBC from BCC.
