ABSTRACT
Nevus sebaceus (NS) and scalp whorl are both benign congenital findings that have not previously been reported to occur simultaneously. In most cases, the isolated finding of a single, classic-appearing NS or a single hair whorl can be followed clinically with observation. However, the number of lesions, distribution, and size of NS along with atypical placement of a scalp hair whorl can indicate an underlying syndrome or even underlying cranial abnormalities. We present a unique case of NS arising within a hair whorl on the vertex scalp of an otherwise healthy male neonate. After ultrasound showed no vascular malformations or proliferations and no cranial extension at the site, the lesion was later treated with surgical excision at six months old per the parents' preference, thus allowing for histologic confirmation of NS. Additionally, we discuss herein the diagnostic implications, recommendations for work-up, and treatment options of NS.
