One patient with sebaceous nevus of Jadassohn is presented. This lesion is considered a hamartoma, because it is caused by benign hyperplasia of sebaceous glands. Most common location is on the scalp and less frequently on the face, trunk and extremities, with a low risk to malignant neoplasia. The lesion may appear from birth. When patients get to puberty, develop into different kinds of tumors. Treatment is surgical excision along prepuberal age.
