Newborn with Sebaceous Nevus of Jadassohn Presenting as Exophytic Scalp Lesion

Abstract: It is essential that various factors be considered when determining the differential diagnosis of congenital scalp lesions, including lesion size, appearance, intracranial extension, underlying medical condition and the embryological germ layer involved. We present the case of a newborn diagnosed as having a sebaceous nevus of Jadassohn scalp lesion. While a common congenital lesion, we describe the unusual presentation at birth as an exophytic nodular lesion. To our knowledge only one other case report of an … Show more

“…To date, unlike in patients with classic sebaceous nevi, no extracutaneous associations have been described in patients with CSN, 3–6,8–13 which is in accordance with our own findings. Whether CSN have a tendency to develop secondary benign and malignant neoplasms, as in classic sebaceous nevi, 20 remains unclear, as most reported lesions, including our own, were excised early in life 3–6,8–13 . To the best of our knowledge, we report for the first time the occurrence of a CSN associated with another neoplasm (SCAP).…”

“…A rare subtype of exophytic sebaceous nevus has occasionally been described, with the denomination of ‘papillomatous, pedunculated sebaceous nevus (PPSN) 3 ’ or ‘cerebriform sebaceous nevus (CSN)’ 4 . Since the first report in 1991, 5 few additional cases have been published 6–13 . We previously found a novel postzygotic mutation in the transmembrane (TM) domain of FGFR2 in two fetuses with PPSN diagnosed post mortem 7 .…”

“…Presentation of this hamartoma in a newborn as an exophytic mass is extremely infrequent. In a literature review, only three papers described localized exophytic lesions (6–8). It is of great interest that one of these cases also demonstrated the hair collar sign (6).…”
