Abstract
Background: Nevus sebaceus of Jadassohn (NSJ) is a complex cutaneous hamartoma with various clinical appearances. Aim: To describe different dermoscopic patterns of this nevus according to its evolutionary stages. Methods: This was an analytical study of NSJ carried out in the Department of Dermatology at the University Hospital Hassan II, Fez, Morocco. Results: Thirteen patients with a NSJ were enrolled in the study. Elevated verrucous plaques were noticed in 9 patients, homogeneous tumors were described in 2 NSJ, an alopecic patch was found in 1 case, and we had 1 case of malignant transformation into basal cell carcinoma. The dermoscopic aspects of NSJ described in our study were yellowish or brown globules aggregated in clusters on a yellow background. This pattern was significantly related to the first stage of an alopecic patch (p = 0.001). Whitish-yellow lobular aspect and grayish papillary appearance were significantly related to verrucous plaques (p = 0.003). Homogeneous yellow-whitish pattern was related to nodules (p = 0.005). Conclusion: The establishment of specific dermoscopic features of NSJ according to its evolutionary stages is important for its diagnosis and especially its monitoring in order to detect malignant transformation.Keywords
