Nevus sebaceous of Jadassohn is a hamartoma composed of abnormal epidermal and dermal components with clinical and histological features that change with aging. It can progress to benign and malignant tumors. Suspected cases of transformation should be clinically monitored and excised. The present study was a cross sectional study. Total 8 patients were studied during 6 months of study period. Out of 8 patients, 4 were male and 4 were female. All patients were followed up and treated accordingly. Neoplastic changes were found in two cases on histopathological examination, one was a Syringocystadenoma papilliferum and other was a Trichoblastoma. Malignant neoplasm on nevus sebaceous occurs in about 2.5% of cases, with basal cell carcinoma accounting for 1.1%. Development of malignancies in nevus sebaceous is a rare phenomenon and decision of excision of the lesion should be made after thorough evaluation of the pros and cons.
