Sumario:Nevus sebaceous (NS) presents as alopecia and yellowish discoloration during infantile stage. In adult stage, lesions become verrucous. Importantly, various appendageal tumors such as trichoblastoma, syringocystadenoma papilliferum and basal cell carcinoma develop during this stage. Hence it is very important to follow the course of NS for early detection of neoplasms. We are presenting a case of a 10-year-old patient with a dome-shaped, dark-pigmented nodule on the left side of neck nape, which later diagnosed as NS and removed with a carbon dioxide laser.
