Abstract
during the preceding month. A biopsy specimen disclosed a basal cell carcinoma (Fig. 1) arising in a nevus sebaceus (Fig. 2). Mohs surgery was successfully performed. Thereafter, completeexcision of the underlying nevus was accomplished. Further history uncovered two other family members with similar bald spots. Examination of the daughter's scalp showed a nevus sebaceus (Fig. 3) on the left frontal aspect of the scalp and a nevus sebaceus on the right partial aspect of the scalp of his granddaughter (Fig. 4). Neither ofthese lesions was histologically examined or excised. The cutaneous lesions in this family were not associated with neurologic abnormalities. Discussion. Familial nevus sebaceus of Jadassohn in a mother and daughter was first described by Monk and Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology
