    TLDR Serial excision effectively removed a large scalp lesion with minimal scarring and no hair loss.
    The study discusses the case of a 14-year-old male with a Nevus Sebaceous of Jadassohn (NSJ) on the scalp, which was treated using a three-stage serial excision method. This approach was chosen due to the lesion's large size and the challenges posed by the scalp's limited soft tissue flexibility and hair-bearing skin. The serial excision resulted in the complete removal of the NSJ, minimal scarring, no significant alopecia, and no recurrence during a 6-month follow-up period. The study highlights the effectiveness of serial excision for large NSJ lesions on the scalp.
