title: Cerebriform sebaceous nevus.
abstract: A 20-year-old man presented with a well-defined, soft to firm, freely mobile pinkish-yellow plaque of 9.5 cm over the right parieto-occipital region with a typical cerebriform appearance. In total, nine folds were present with short black terminal hair in the sulci area. There was no follicular plugging. Skeletal survey and neurologic and ophthalmologic assessments were normal. Skin biopsy was compatible with sebaceous nevus showing mature sebaceous glands in the upper dermis and mature apocrine glands in the lower dermis with malformed hair germ.
