摘要

A 30-year-old Caucasian female presented with ahairless plaque on her head. The patient admitted thatshe had this asymptomatic lesion since birth. However,the patient complained that the size of the lesion hadgradually increased in the last ten years. The physicalexamination of the patient revealed a firm, well defined,pink-orange coloured, oval, alopecic plaque withcerebriform surface measuring 3x2 cm on the vertex(Fig. 1). The past medical history was unremarkable.Moreover, there was no history of trauma, skeletal,neurological or ocular abnormalities. In the light ofclinical findings and the history of the patient, thelesion was diagnosed as cerebriform nevus sebaceous.Because of the risk of malignant transformation,surgical excision of the lesion was advised. However,the patient refused surgical intervention. Therefore,regular follow up was recommended.
