Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: Nevus sebaceous is a distinctive growth commonly found on the scalp, forehead and retroauricular region. Nevus sebaceous has age-related changes in morphologic and histologic appearance. Secondary neoplasm including basal cell carcinoma is found in 20% of the nevus sebaceous which were not treated properly. So, we report a case of basal cell carcinoma that is arising in nevus sebaceous but has no malignant appearance.
Methods: A 38 year-old female patient wanted to excise the lesion on scalp. It looked like typical nevus sebaceous because we didn¡¯t find any malignant appearances. We excised the lesion including minimal normal tissue.
Results: After the excision of the lesion, pathologist reported the nevus sebaceous with multifocal basal cell carcinoma.
Conclusion: Many patients want to excise the nevus sebaceous that stands out to other people. But they don¡¯t know the potency of malignant changes. So, plastic surgeons have to notify the potency and make plan for proper treatment.
