Sebaceous carcinoma is not typically considered hereditary. It is a rare and aggressive skin cancer that arises from sebaceous (oil) glands and is more often associated with certain genetic conditions, such as Muir-Torre syndrome, which involves mutations in the mismatch repair genes. While individuals with these genetic syndromes may have a familial predisposition to sebaceous carcinoma, the cancer itself is not inherited in a straightforward manner. Most cases occur sporadically without a clear hereditary link.
