Association of nevus sebaceus with an unusual type of "combined nevus".
A case of nevus sebaceus with development of a basal cell epithelioma is described. This case of nevus sebaceus was characterized by an association with extensive nevoid growths of melanocytes in the same lesion. The nevoid growths of melanocytes showed features of an unusual "combined nevus", representing a combination of speckled lentiginous nevus with blue nevi. We discuss the relationship between nevus sebaceus and nevoid growths of melanocytes.
