Sebaceous nevus of Jadassohn: review and clinical-surgical approach

Abstract Background: Nevus sebaceous of Jadassohn is defined as a rare congenital malformation characterized as a non-hereditary hamartoma of the adnexal structures of the skin. Its etiology is not yet well understood, but it is believed to be related to post-zygotic mutations in the HRAS, NRAS and KRAS genes. Objective: To describe the clinical manifestation of nevus sebaceous, as well as the main management techniques addressed in the medical literature. Moreover, the present study discusses a case report of a congenital linear nevus in the left retroauricular region found in a male patient, without extracutaneous manifestations. Method: A narrative review of the literature was carried out. Discussion: Nevus sebaceous occurs as lesions with a linear or oval appearance, with a smooth or verrucous texture, generally alopecic and with very variable color. Moreover, nevus sebaceous is one of the components of the so-called linear nevus syndrome or Schimmelpenning-Feuerstein-Mims syndrome, which is associated with multisystemic complications. The treatment of the lesions is still controversial; however, most experts indicate surgical excision as the most frequently adopted treatment method, in addition to multidisciplinary follow-up when the diagnosis of Schimmelpenning-Feuerstein-Mims syndrome is established. Conclusion: The linear nevus syndrome constitutes a rare manifestation; however, its diagnosis should be considered in children born with nevus sebaceous. There is no consensus yet on the best therapy, but surgical removal has shown to be a viable option.

Histopathological Profile of Skin Adnexal Tumours - A Three Year Experience at a Tertiary Care Centre in Manipur.

Skin adnexal tumours are a large group of benign and malignant tumours that arise from pluripotent stem cells and differentiate toward one or more adnexal structures. So, quite often they may exhibit more than one line of differentiation (hybrid tumours). Moreover, they are uncommon, clinically nonspecific, and remain a diagnostic challenge to surgeons and pathologists alike. The present study is aimed at analysing the histopathological profile of skin adnexal tumours in a hospital based population in Manipur.METHODSThe present study is a retrospective analysis conducted over a period of 3 years from January 2017 to December 2019 in the Department of Pathology, Jawaharlal Institute of Medical Sciences, Manipur, India. Specimens were fixed in formalin, paraffin embedded and stained with haematoxylin and eosin for histopathologic analysis.RESULTSA total of 34 cases of skin adnexal tumours were reported in the Department of Pathology, JNIMS, Imphal, over a period of 3 years out of which 94% (32/34) of the total cases were benign tumours and 5.88% (2/34) were malignant tumours. Tumours with hair follicle differentiation comprised the largest group (44.1%). Pilomatrixoma was the most common tumour followed by Nevus Sebaceous. Both malignant adnexal tumours were sebaceous carcinomas.CONCLUSIONSSkin adnexal tumours are uncommon tumours with most of them being benign tumours and there is a low incidence of malignant tumours. Malignant tumours although rare, need to be diagnosed accurately since they can be aggressive with distant and nodal metastasis. Histopathologic examination remains the gold standard in diagnosing these rare lesions.

Nevo sebáceo com transformação maligna tratado com cirurgia micrográfica de Mohs: relato de caso / Nevus sebaceous with malignant transformation treated with Mohs surgery: A case report

Nevo sebáceo de Jadassohn é um hamartoma congênito da pele que se localiza mais frequentemente em face e couro cabeludo. Uma pequena porcentagem desses tumores evolui para lesões malignas, dentre elas o carcinoma basocelular. Relata-se um caso de paciente idoso com nevo sebáceo desde a primeira infância, que evoluiu com transformação maligna da lesão para carcinoma basocelular. O tratamento realizado foi a excisão cirúrgica por meio da cirurgia micrográfica de Mohs.

Nevus sebaceous of Jadassohn is a congenital skin hamartoma often located on the face and scalp. A small percentage of these tumors evolve into malignant lesions, including basal cell carcinoma. We report a case of an elderly patient with nevus sebaceous since early childhood that evolved with a malignant transformation from the lesion to basal cell carcinoma. The treatment performed was surgical excision using Mohs surgery

Do you know this syndrome? Schimmelpenning-Feuerstein-Mims syndrome

Abstract Nevus sebaceous is the most common type of organoid epidermal nevus, often located on the face, following the Blaschko's lines and with alterations in the ipsilateral central nervous system. Distinct disorders can be distinguished by the type of association with epidermal nevus. Schimmelpenning-Feuerstein-Mims syndrome is a rare multisystem disorder characterized by sebaceous nevus associated with extracutaneous abnormalities affecting the brain, eyes and bones. We report the case of an 8-year-old female patient with a yellowish verrucous plaque on the left temporal area extending ipsilaterally to the cervical region, combined with cicatricial alopecia, periocular nodule, and epibulbar tumors.

Syringocystadenoma papilliferum arising within a nevus sebaceous: A case report

@#Syringocystadenoma papilliferum is a rare benign adnexal skin tumor of apocrine or eccrine differentiation. It usually appears at puberty wherein a third of cases arise within a nevus sebaceous. We report a 14 year-old male with an erythematous fleshy plaque on the scalp of 3 years duration that developed from a pre-existing hairless plaque since birth. Histopathology confirmed the above diagnosis.

Carcinoma basocelular, siringocistoadenoma papilífero, adenoma apócrino e triquilemoma sobre nevo sebáceo de Jadassohn / Basal cell carcinoma, papillary syringocystadenoma, apocrine adenoma and trichilemmoma on nevus sebaceous of Jadassohn

Descrito por Jadassohn e também conhecido como nevo organoide, o nevo sebáceo é considerado hamartoma que exibe má-formação folicular, sebácea, écrina e apócrina de graus variados. Durante a idade adulta, de dez a 30% dos pacientes com nevo sebáceo de Jadassohn têm risco de desenvolver neoplasia cutânea ou anexial. Relatamos caso de paciente com nevo sebáceo de Jadassohn associado a múltiplas neoplasias (benignas e malignas) de diferentes linhagens e ressaltamos a importância do conhecimento dessa entidade e do exame do couro cabeludo por parte do dermatologista.

Described by Jadassohn and also known as organoid nevus, nevus sebaceous is considered a hamartoma that exhibits follicular, sebaceous, eccrine and apocrine malformations of varying degrees. Between 10% and 30% of patients with sebaceous nevi of Jadassohn are at risk of developing cutaneous or adnexal neoplasia during adulthood. The authors describe the case of a patient with nevus sebaceous of Jadassohn associated with multiple tumors (benign and malignant) of different strains, highlighting the importance of the dermatologist physician's knowing this entity and how to perform an examination of the scalp.

Syringocystadenoma papilliferum and trichoblastoma arising in the nevus sebaceous

Nevus sebaceous (NS) is a clinically common benign tumor and has a high potential to develop into a great diversity of neoplasms of epidermal and adnexal origins. However, it is a rare phenomenon of the coexistence in a single NS with two or more skin tumors. We report a case of a 58-year-old woman with two kinds of neoplastic proliferation including syringocystadenoma papilliferum and trichoblastoma arising in NS on the scalp.

Schimmelpenning syndrome with Didymosisaplasticosebacea in an infant

Introduction@#Schimmelpenning syndrome may encompass abnormalities of the cardiovascular, skeletal, ophthalmologic and urogenital systems. Nevus sebaceous is a hallmark finding and ophthalmologic findings are seen in 59% of the cases which include colobomas and choristomas.@*Case Summary@#A 1-month-old female presented with a verrucous plaque over the scalp and right zygomatic area upon birth. Physical examination reveals a linear yellowish alopecic verrucous plaque over the right frontal region, yellowish alopecic verrucous plaque topped with a skin colored papule over the right zygomatic region, conjunctival mass over the right eye and an atrophic patch with areas of circular erosion over the right occipital region. Ballard score and reflexes were appropriate for gestational age. Newborn screening was normal and otoacoustic-emission-test revealed no hearing loss. She was referred to an ophthalmologist and was assessed to have a lipodermoid, right upper eyelid and optic nerve coloboma. Cranial CT scan is unremarkable. Histopathology showed an increase in number of sebaceous glands with malformed hair units. She was managed holistically and does not have seizures and no secondary development of tumors in the nevus sebaceous.@*Conclusion@#Schimmelpenning syndrome is usually associated with the clinical triad of nevus sebaceous, mental retardation and seizures. In this case, seizures were absent, however, there is an associated lipodermoid, right upper eyelid and right optic nerve coloboma. In addition, she also presented with aplasia cutis congenita. Hence, it is important to look for other manifestations when patients present with nevus sebaceous because management requires collaboration with different specialties.

Siringocistoadenoma papilífero: reporte de 11 casos del Hospital Clínico de la Universidad de Chile / Papilliferum Syringocystoadenoma: report of 11 cases of Clinical Hospital of the University of Chile

Introducción: El siringocistoadenoma papilífero (SP) es un tumor anexial benigno inusual, de etiología desconocida. Por lo general, se presenta desde el nacimiento, o en la primera infancia como una lesión aislada, frecuentemente asociada a un nevo sebáceo de Jadassohn. Objetivo: Describir y analizar las características demográficas, clínicas e histopatológicas del SP. Materiales y métodos: Revisión retrospectiva de informes histopatológicos del Departamento de Anatomía Patológica del Hospital Clínico de la Universidad de Chile entre los años 2005 y 2016. Se incluyeron todas las muestras que describieron dentro del diagnóstico histológico las palabras "siringocistoadenoma papilífero". Resultados: La muestra está compuesta por 11 pacientes; 9 mujeres y 2 hombres. En 5 pacientes, se desarrolló un SP a partir de un nevo sebáceo y en 6 surgió de novo. El total de la muestra desarrolló el SP durante o posterior a la pubertad. Tanto los pacientes con SP solitario, como aquellos asociados a un nevo sebáceo, presentaron clínica similar con una placa o pápula verrucosa aislada. Los principales diagnósticos diferenciales fueron el nevo sebáceo, nevo verrucoso y verruga. Conclusiones: Este estudio constituye la primera serie de casos de SP en un hospital en Santiago de Chile. La forma clínica más frecuente fue como placa verrucosa solitaria asintomática, con casos aislados como pápula verrucosa y sólo un caso con aspecto de cuerno cutáneo. Se destaca el rol de la extirpación quirúrgica completa, tanto para establecer el diagnóstico, como para ofrecer un tratamiento definitivo, disminuyendo el riesgo de transformación maligna a siringocistoadenocarcinoma papilífero.

Introduction: Syringocystoadenoma papilliferum (SCAP) is an unusual benign adnexal tumor of unknown etiology. Usually it is presented at birth or in early childhood as an isolated lesion associated with nevus sebaceous of Jadassohn. Objective: To describe and analyze the demographic, clinical and histopathological characteristics of SCAP. Materials and methods: A retrospective review of histopathological reports was performed at the Clinical Hospital´s Department of Pathological Anatomy from the University of Chile including biopsies from 2005 to 2016. All the samples that described the histological diagnosis of "syringocystoadenoma papilliferum" were included. Results: The sample consists of 11 patients; 9 women and 2 men. In 5 patients, an SCAP was developed from a sebaceous nevus and in 6 it developed de novo. The total sample developed SCAP during or after puberty. Both the patients with solitary SCAP, and those associated with nevo sebaceous, presented similar clinical signs with an isolated verrucous plaque or papule. The main differential diagnoses were the nevo sebaceous, warty nevus and wart. Conclusions: This study is the first SCAP case series in Santiago, Chile. The most frequent clinical form was an asymptomatic solitary verrucous plaque, with isolated cases as a verrucous papule and a single case as a cutaneous horn. The role of complete surgical resection is highlighted, both to establish the diagnosis and to offer a definitive treatment, reducing the risk of malignant transformation to syringocystadenocarcinoma papilliferum.

Syringocystadenoma papilliferum combined with a tubular apocrine adenoma

Abstract: Syringocystadenoma papilliferum and tubular apocrine adenoma are rare benign sweat gland tumors. Syringocystadenoma papilliferum occurs alone or in association with other tumors. Although it is rare, the association of tubular apocrine adenoma with syringocystadenoma papilliferum developing in a sebaceous nevus on the scalp is well documented. However, the co-existence of these two tumors without the background of a sebaceous nevus has not been frequently reported. Syringocystadenoma papilliferum and tubular apocrine adenoma may have a histopathological overlap, but a few cases of a syringocystadenoma papilliferum combined with a tubular apocrine adenoma have been reported. Herein we describe an unusual case of syringocystadenoma papilliferum co-existing with a tubular apocrine adenoma located on the back of a 14-year-old patient in the absence of a pre-existing sebaceous nevus.

Carcinoma basocelular desenvolvido sobre nevo sebáceo: tratamento com terapia fotodinâmica abordando campo de cancerização / Basal cell carcinoma growth over a nevus sebaceous: treatment of the field cancerization with photodynamic therapy

Nevo sebáceo de Jadassohn é hamartoma congênito que pode apresentar evolução para neoplasia cutânea maligna. A terapia fotodinâmica é utilizada para tratamento de ceratoses actínicas e carcinomas basocelulares superficiais ou nodulares, podendo-se observar o campo de cancerização cutâneo através da lâmpada de Wood, durante a realização da técnica. Relata-se um caso do uso da terapia fotodinâmica para o tratamento de um carcinoma basocelular, que se desenvolveu sobre nevo sebáceo, demonstrando-se o campo cancerizável através do uso da lâmpada de Wood. O procedimento consistiu em alternativa de tratamento não cirúrgico para o carcinoma basocelular, com excelente resultado estético. A paciente encontra-se em seguimento clínico, não apresentando recidiva da neoplasia 18 meses após o tratamento.

The sebaceous nevus of Jadassohn is a congenital hamartoma that may develop into a malignant cutaneous neoplasia. Photodynamic therapy is used to treat actinic keratoses and superficial or nodular basal cell carcinomas, and the cutaneous field cancerization can be observed using the Wood's lamp during the performance of the technique. This article describes a case of photodynamic therapy used in the treatment of a basal cell carcinoma, which developed on a sebaceous nevus, where the field cancerization was demonstrated through the use of Wood's lamp. The procedure is a non-surgical alternative for the treatment of the basal cell carcinoma, with excellent aesthetic outcome. The patient is on clinical follow-up, with absence of recurrence of the neoplasia 18 months after the treatment.

Simultaneous Development of Three Different Neoplasms of Trichilemmoma, Desmoplastic Trichilemmoma and Basal Cell Carcinoma Arising from Nevus Sebaceus

Nevus sebaceus is a hamartoma of the sebaceous gland that occurs congenitally, from which various secondary tumors can arise with a prevalence of 5%–6%. Benign neoplasms commonly arise from nevus sebaceous, but they have a very low malignant potential. Two neoplasms may occasionally arise within the same lesion, but it is rare for three or more neoplasms to occur in a nevus sebaceus simultaneously. A 61-year-old male patient was admitted to our hospital for a 4 cm×2.5 cm growing tumor in a verrucous form arising within a periauricular nevus sebaceus in the post auricle of the left ear that had developed 30 years earlier. The nodule was diagnosed as 3 different types of tumors: trichilemmoma, desmoplastic trichilemmoma, and basal cell carcinoma. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the coexistence of three different tumors arising from nevus sebaceous. It contain malignant neoplasm also. Surgeons should be aware of the need for close monitoring and early complete surgical excision of sebaceous nevus in order to improve patient outcomes.

Siringocistoadenoma papilífero y carcinoma basocelular en nevo sebáceo: reporte de caso / Papilliferous sarcomatocystoma and basal cell carcinoma in nevus sebaceous: case report

El nevo sebáceo o nevo de Jadassohn es un hamartoma cutáneo congénito poco frecuente formado por múltiples estructuras cutáneas. Presenta potencial de transformación a una variedad de neoplasias epidérmicas benignas y malignas, que suelen presentarse de manera individual. Si bien esta descrito en la literatura, es inusual el desarrollo de más de una neoplasia sobre un nevo sebáceo. En esta publicación se presenta el caso de un hombre de 62 años con una lesión de 3 años de evolución, cuyo estudio histopatológico demostró la presencia de un carcinoma basocelular y un siringocistoadenoma papilífero sobre un nevo sebáceo de Jadassohn.

Nevus sebaceous of Jadassohn is an infrequent cutaneous congenital hamartoma, formed by multiple cutaneous structures. It possesses a transformation potential to benign and malignant epidermic neoplasms, that usually present individually. Even though a few cases have been published, the coexistence of two or more tumors is rare. We hereby present the case of a 62 years old male, with a nevus sebaceous of Jadassohn history, that after excisional biopsy showed the presence of a basal cell carcinoma associated to a syringocystoadenoma papilliferum.

A Case of Systematized Nevus Sebaceous / 대한피부과학회지

A patient with nevus sebaceous showing linear or wide distribution can present with a triad of nevus sebaceous, seizures, and mental retardation. Most of those cases are classified as sebaceous nevus syndrome. Ophthalmological, skeletal, and other abnormalities may also be present. A male weighing 3,580 g was born at the gestational age of 38 weeks after a normal pregnancy. He was referred to the dermatologic department on the first day of life. He presented with yellow-orange and verrucous plaques on both sides of the temporal areas, face, neck, upper and lower extremities, and trunk. Skin biopsy specimens were taken from the scalp and right lower leg. Histologically, both specimens showed sebaceous gland hyperplasia, absence of mature hair follicles, infundibular cystic structures, and apocrine glands. Brain magnetic resonance imaging, transthoracic echocardiography, abdomen ultrasonography, and routine laboratory investigations were performed and showed nonspecific findings. The patient did not show seizure activity at 19 days of observation, and he is now on close observation. We herein report a very rare case of systematized nevus sebaceous presenting at birth.

Complex limbal choristoma in linear nevus sebaceous syndrome managed with scleral grafting.

Linear nevus sebaceous syndrome (LNSS) is characterized by nevus sebaceous, mental retardation, seizures, and ocular abnormalities such as complex limbal choistoma. A young male with history of mass in right eye and blackish discoloration of skin over right and left side of forehead since birth presented with foreign body sensation and diminished vision in right eye. Ocular examination showed mass over epibulbar region with chorioretinal coloboma and posterior staphyloma in right eye and megalocornea in left eye. Histopathology report revealed complex limbal choristoma with compound melanocytic nevus. The case was managed by surgical excision of the limbal mass and filling the gap with scleral graft.

Nevus sebaceus with basal cell carcinoma, poroma, and verruca vulgaris.

Nevus sebaceus (NS) is a congenital, benign, hamartomatous lesion and it is possible to see several benign or malignant tumors accompanying it. One of these is the poroma, which is very rare, and has only been reported twice before, in the English literature. In this paper, we presented two new cases of NS. One of them was a 40‑year‑old male who presented with a congenital skin lesion on his temporoparietal region. This lesion was composed of four different lesions, including NS, poroma, basal cell carcinoma (BCC), and verruca vulgaris. The second patient was a 41‑year‑old male presenting with a yellow‑brown patch on the scalp. This lesion was comprised of NS and BCC. In addition to these presentations, we discussed the differential diagnosis between BCC and trichoblastoma, both of which are likely to be seen with NS. For this purpose, we recommended an immunohistological panel, which may be useful for differentiating these two morphologically similar lesions.

Nevus sebáceo cerebriforme: uma rara apresentação

A 13-year-old boy presented congenital, raised, yellowish colored plaques with fibroelastic consistency, which were velvety in appearance, alopecic, with clearly defined limits and sulci or well-marked meandering invaginations, a cerebriform appearance on the upper part of the right ear, accompanied by alopecia in the temporomandibular region-parietal. The lesion was asymptomatic. Histopathologic examination revealed acanthosis, hyperkeratosis, papillomatosis and follicular plugging in the epidermis. The upper dermis showed underdeveloped hair follicles with sebaceous glands, consistent with sebaceous nevus. There were no skeletal, cardiological, ophthalmological or neuropsychomotor changes; nor were there any records of relevant pathologies in the family history. The patient complained of his appearance, experiencing aesthetic and social issues. Following a diagnosis of cerebriform nevus sebaceous, complete excision was performed with excellent aesthetic results.
