Sebaceous nevus of Jadassohn (SNJ) is an organoid hamartoma of the skin usually seen at or shortly after birth. Its most common location is the scalp, however, it may involve other areas of the head and neck. Classically it presents as a well- -defined plaque composed of multiple confluent yellowish-orange or yellow-brownish papules. The development of neoplasms in SNJ is well documented (10%-30%) as well as its possible association with a neurocutaneous syndrome. We report an exuberant case of facial SNJ in a 2-month-old male patient who underwent surgery at an early age. Recent literature on the subject is briefly addressed.
