title: Linear nevus sebaceous of Jadassohn.
abstract: Though the described lesion is uncommon, it is nevertheless important to recognize for several reasons. Its rapid growth during certain phases makes early recognition and surgical excision mandatory to preclude cosmetic deformity. In addition, its significant tendency for malignant degeneration makes early excision the preferred treatment.
