Abstract
We report the case of a 56-year-old male with a sebaceous nevus of the scalp, complicated by multiple tumor development. Histologic examinat ion revealed a basal cell carcinoma, a syringocystadenoma papilliferum and a proliferating trichilemmal cyst. Sebaceous nevus has a well-doc umented neoplastic potential. Multiple tumors may occasionally arise, but the coexistence of 3 or more tumors is extremely rare. Close monit oring and early complete surgical excision of sebaceous nevi are warra nted, in order to ensure a favorable prognosis.
