Nevus sebaceous on the scalp.
ICD-O:	M8410/0, M8410/3

Nevus sebaceous (or nevus sebaceus, also known as an "Organoid nevus"^[1]:661, and "Nevus sebaceous of Jadassohn"^[2]:773) is a congenital, hairless plaque that typically occurs on the face or scalp.^[3] Such nevi are present at birth, affecting males and females of all races equally.^[4] The condition is named for an overgrowth of sebaceous glands in the area of the nevus.

Sebaceous nevi can give rise to sebaceous carcinoma.^[5] However, the rate of such malignancies is now known to be less than was previously estimated. For this reason, excision is no longer automatically recommended.^[6]
