Abstract
Introduction: Nevus sebaceous is a congenital hamartomatous lesion that usually appears on the scalp and neck. With the advance of age, benign and malignant tumor changes on nevus sebaceous lesions may occur, these tumors are usually benign.

Total surgical excision was performed and histopathological examination of the sample revealed a basal cell carcinoma developed on ground of nevus sebaceous.

Keywords: Nevus sebaceous, Tumor, Basal cell carcinoma
