GlossaryNevus Sebaceous

congenital skin lesion with overgrown sebaceous glands, often hairless

Nevus Sebaceous, also known as Sebaceous Nevus or Nevus of Jadassohn, is a congenital skin lesion typically present at birth or developing in early childhood. It appears as a yellowish, hairless plaque, often on the scalp or face, and is composed of an overgrowth of sebaceous glands and other skin structures. While usually benign, it can sometimes develop secondary tumors, necessitating regular monitoring by a healthcare professional.
