A rare, large, linear, lobulated naevus sebaceous on the ear of a 40-year-old man is presented. Clinically, this unusual presentation mimicked syringocystadenoma papilliferum.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Pathology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Naevus sebaceous (NS) is a congenital benign skin tumor.
  • Typically presents as a yellowish, hairless plaque on the scalp or face.
  • Unusual presentations and locations of NS can pose diagnostic challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a rare case of naevus sebaceous with an unusual morphology.
  • To highlight the clinical differential diagnosis in such cases.
  • To emphasize the importance of histopathological correlation for accurate diagnosis.

Main Methods:

  • Case report of a 40-year-old male patient.
  • Clinical examination and photographic documentation.
  • Surgical excision and histopathological analysis of the lesion.

Main Results:

  • A large, linear, lobulated naevus sebaceous was identified on the ear.
  • The lesion's clinical appearance simulated syringocystadenoma papilliferum.
  • Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of naevus sebaceous.

Conclusions:

  • Naevus sebaceous can exhibit diverse and atypical morphologies.
  • Clinical simulation of other adnexal tumors, such as syringocystadenoma papilliferum, is possible.
  • Histopathological examination is crucial for definitive diagnosis of unusual naevus sebaceous presentations.
