The author observed one case of typical Linear bassal cell nevus who was 3 year old girl. Since birth, skin lesions reveal a linear band like nodules along the left lateral margin of nose,
which are consists of pinhead sized, normal skin colored, pearly and translucent papules. Histopathologically, the preparations showed multifocal irregular masses of basal type epithelial
cells in continuity at pilosebaceous follicles and the cells were oval or spindle shaped and a peripheral palisade arrangement. But comedones and nevus cells were not identified.
Diagnosis confirmed by clinical appearance, histopathologically and other clinical study. There were marked improvement by the local application of 2% 5-Fluorouracil solution.
