ABSTRACT
We report here a case of nevus sebaceous in a 55-year-old male, who presented with a 50-year history of an asymptomatic swelling in his right scalp. The solitary, yellowish, expansile plaque over the scalp gradually became lobulated and turned dark-pigmented with spontaneous bleeding, itching discomfort, and occasional ulceration after scratching. The male's clinical presentation and histopathological findings were compatible with basal cell carcinoma arising in nevus sebaceous. At present, 5-aminolevulinic acid photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT) emerges as a novel treatment modality which has proved safe and effective. In this case, three sessions of photodynamic therapy in combination with surgical excision were performed, leaving mild pigmentation within 3 weeks. The patient showed good cosmetic outcome, minimal scarring on the right scalp without further complications, disease recurrence or metastasis after ALA-PDT within six months.
