This case describes the occurrence of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and sebaceoma within a nevus sebaceous (NV), which has not yet been previously reported. This is significant to dermatologists as it emphasizes the importance of close monitoring of benign sebaceous nevi in the event that malignant transformation occurs, although such occurrences are rare. Prompt consideration for prophylactic excision of NS is warranted prior to malignant transformation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
